Chou En-lai spent over three hours in Peking with American students outlining terms for relations. He demanded U S troop withdrawal from Indochina take priority over rapprochement, insisting on full military withdrawal from installations. He cited four obstacles: U S commitment to Taiwan, Korea, revived Japanese militarism, and Vietnam withdrawals.

Move to amend Saigon constitution to let Communists run
A powerful bloc in Saigon seeks to amend South Vietnam’s constitution so Viet Cong and other Communists can stand for office. They hope to win Thieu’s backing as a price for support in his re election while pledging a coalition only if open elections produce a Communist participation. The plan would require disbanding armed forces and ending violence, amid unclear feasibility and risk of subversion.
