0 tees Re: Current Relationship Between the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of China The relationship between the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) and the CP of China is as strained as it was last December, The strained relations continue despite the attempts made at reconciliation at the 81 Party Conference held in Moscow last fall. Representatives of the respective parties have only perfunctory contact with one another, According to Gorelnik and Handl, Chinese assigned to the “World Marxist Review" appear at their desks for approximately one hour a day and do not participate in preparing articles for the aforesaid publication. Not one larticle for the Chinese is scheduled to be published in 1961. According to Timur Timofeev, government relations between China and the Soviet Union are "relatively better" ; than they were last December, In the last 30 days, the Soviet ‘Union has granted two requests of China: The Soviet Union has ; sent a number of railroad experts into China and also has sent ‘a mumber of chemical specialists, Because of the famine ‘conditions in China, the Soviet Union recently has sent to ‘the Chinese two large shipments of food, In that connection Timofeev has reported that he had received recently a letter from one "Cheng", head of the Automobile Industry in China, reflecting that the latter, despite his high position, is experiencing great difficulty in feeding his child, Cheng's letter also reflected that "true Marxism" is separating the Soviet Union and China. ~2- TeescecleL
