An Introduction

Extract

No reader of the polemics in the Sino-Soviet dispute can fail to have noticed the importance of issues of nuclear war and disarmament. Among the bitterest exchanges were the statements issued by the spokesmen of the two governments following the signing of the test ban treaty in 1963. The Chinese have launched a broad attack on the Soviet position on disarmament issues most notably in the Fifth Comment on the Soviet Open Letter published on November 8, 1963.
