THE COMMUNIST BLOC � Communist China - Indonesia: Peiping is following up its promise, made in a People's Daily editorial of 27 Jan- uary, to send ships to Indonesia to bring back Overseas Chi- nese who want to leave as a result of anti-Chinese measures. Four chartered ships have left Canton for Djakarta, and addi- tional passenger vessels will be diverted from other runs to carry returnees as far as Hong Kong. Although only a few hundred Chinese had left Indonesia up to the end of January, a monthly exodus of several thousand is expected after com- pletion of transportation arrangements by late February. (Page 1) Communist China - USSR: The speech to the Warsaw Pact conference by the senior Chinese Communist observer, Kang Sheng, reflects Peiping's continuing reservations about IChrushchey's policy of detente with the West. While express- ing perfunctory approval of "peaceful coexistence" as a basis for bloc foreign policy, Kang indicated doubt about the possi- bility of any real East-West understanding and said that the United States' actions "fully prove that its imperialist nature cannot be changed." He explicitly extended Peiping's 21 Jan- uary refusal to be bound by any international disarmament agreement to include "all other international agreements." The Chinese clearly desire participation in world councils, but it is unlikely that this statement is intended as a bid for Chinese attendance at the 10-nation disarmament conference in March or at the summit in May. In claiming that Chinese Communist armed forces are now "less than half their original size," Kang suggested that Peiping is not considerina reduetinng nf fhpea forces. -SE�RET Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03172226 r s j
