China: poor e<
By JOHN McCURRY
Gamecock Staff Writer
The People's Republic of China
is far from being politically stable,
according 10 ur. Kicnard L.
Walker, director of USC's Institute
of International Studies.
Walker said there have been
recent purges of some key
members of the 11th Central
Committee, five of the members
suddenly disappearing. Chinese
newspaper editorials suggest that
the current chairman could be in
trouble.
Economically, 1977 was worse
for China than the year before,
which was a bad year. The Chinese
government, which is trying to
bring its country into line with the
rest of the world, has adopted a
svstem of socialism nnrt
agricultural collectivism which
Walker describes as "unsuccessful
and backward. China is just now
beginning to re-enter the world of
trade."

relations, Walker said China, as a
result of the Soviet military
buildup along the Chinese border,
needs the U.S. now more than ever.
"We're in far better shape for
eventually handling relations with
China than we ever were with the

17-day VIP tour sponsored by then
board of directors of the National
Committee of U.S.-China
Relations.
Although the Chinese were
friendly, Walker found it difficult
to discern any behind-the-scene
action or to discover what the
Chinese were thinking. The
Chinese rarely talk unofficially
with foreigners.
Walker said although the U.S.
has no ambassador in Peking,
Americans have as much access to
Peking as any other nationality. '
He said he believes the U.S. seems
more emotional about China than
about most other subjects, and
attributes the emotionalism and
great reversals in our perceptions
to "our missionary heritage."
W1IILK CHINA is attempting to |
enter the 20th century in terms of
scientific and technical progress, it
retains a remarkable degree of
"cultural persistence" (sticking to
tradition), according to Walker, a
student of the Chinese use of.
