Chinese situation

reference to the dispute between Communist China and the leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which erupted into open quarreling before the world in 1963. The Chinese accused the Soviets of tearing up agreements, arbitrary treatment, deviation, chauvinism and other anti-Marxist activities. Both sides began to denounce the other in the press, and the dialogue between the two countries remained harsh through the end of the year. Late in the year, the president of the United States warned a press conference that in the 1970s an aggressive and powerful Communist China might be the greatest menace to international peace and security.
