COMMUNIST CHINA - USSR
Peking has improved its defensive positions in
Manchuria near the Soviet border. Satellite photog-
raphy shows at least 30 tent camps and associated
trenches and artillery positions at various locations
near the border. These probably have been established
since the bloody clashes on Damansky-Chenpao Island
in March 1969.
Such developments probably are an extension
of defensive preparations observed through-
out the country. We have not identified
regular ground force redeployments in these
areas.
The Soviets meanwhile are constructing a new
regimental installation at Raychikhinsk about 27
miles from the border. This was begun last summer
and probably will be used in fleshing out existing
divisions rather than as the base for a new division.
In their deliberate buildup on the border,
the Soviets have increased their ground
forces from an understrength 14 divisions
in 1965 to 28 at present. Another six are
in the process of formation.
