BORDER TALKS
China And Russia
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) TOKYO, October 8.
Combining tough talk with conciliatory overtures, China has announced that it will hold high level talks in Peking with Russia on their border crisis, the Associated Press reported. “The Chinese Government and the Soviet Government have now decided through discussion that negotiations are to be held in Peking between the Chinese and Soviet sides on the Sino-Soviet boundary question at the level of Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs,” said a Government communique distributed by Hsinhua (New China) News Agency, monitored in Tokyo last night. “The date for starting the negotiations is- new under discussion.” The Chinese said, however, that if “a handful of war maniacs,” dare to raid China’s strategic nuclear sites in Sinki&ng province—close to the disputed border —“that will be war, that will be aggression, and the 700 million Chinese people will rise up in resistance and use revolutionary war to eliminate the 'war of aggression.”
