Excerpts
Teng Hsiao-ping seems to be making a bid to replace Liu Shao-chi as Mao’s deputy in the party and therefore the heir apparent, and in this he may be succeeding. Teng is probably working with or using Lin Piao, whose place in the army would make him a useful ally. Teng probably built the case that led to the recent ouster of Peng Chen, a rival in Mao’s inner circle of advisers . . . Peng Chen has already been replaced in the Peking city apparatus with one of Teng’s protégés. [note: Li Xuefeng, a supporter of Chen Boda at the 1971 Lushan Conference and later purged as a follower of Lin Biao. Rehabilitated in 1972.
We do not expect to see abrupt shifts in domestic or foreign policy while the struggle goes on.
