Sino-Soviet split blamed on Mao
By MERRILY ROBINSON
Mao Tse-tung is responsible for the Moscow-Peking split, a Sino-Soviet authority said last night in a lecture sponsored by the History and East Asian Departments.
Franz Michael of the Institute for Sino-Soviet Studies at George Washington University traced Chinese history under Mao Tsetung, concentrating on recent developments of Mao's cultural revolution and Red Guard movements.
Mao is fighting to retain his position of leadership in Communist China, Michael said, and he is probably motivated by a desire to gain greater power in determining the course of international communism.
"The 1957 communist conferences in Moscow proved that all communist parties are equal, but the Soviet party is more equal than others.
"Mao saw this and returned to Peking with a view to instituting policies to provide him with a base from which to challenge communist world leadership."
THE RED GUARD was drawn from and is fostered by the Chinese military, Michael said, and leaders for the cultural revolution came from Mao's inner circle.
Michael stated that he never made predictions, but under the present set of circumstances, three possibilities for Red China's future present themselves:
- An overthrow of Mao or the following new regime afterward will effect a "de-Maoization" to discredit his image in the Chinese mind and will work toward a reconciliation with Moscow.
- Mao and his successors will triumph and continue their progression away from true communism, which could lead to a military dictatorship.
- A stalemate between Mao and anti-Mao forces could end in a Hungary-type of rising against communism.
