Will the fate of the American vessel finally awaken American policy makers to the realization that the Kremlin still stands for world revolution? s-t Thrmain result of the dispute between Russia and China is that it exposes the real motivating forces behind Soviet' policy. It reveals the fallacy of an oversimplified picture of a wholly "peace loving" Russia as opposed to an, "aggressive" and militant Red China. The real bone of contention between the two Red rivals is not whether to fight for world revolution, but which is the right moment to "raise the banner of Insurrection." Mao is banking on a spontaneous uprising of the peasant masses.

This is also how Mao Tse tung sees the seizure of the American vessel and its crew. It explains why Peking's press and radio have been so lukewarm in their reaction to North Korea's action. 7' The, Chinese waited six days before they Issued an official statement condemning the United States' "intrusion into territorial waters for espionage activities." But even then they pointedly refrained from offering or promising any military aid to North Korea. This was emphasized by Communist Czechoslovakia which backs the Russians in their conflict with China.
