Mao Now Controls China Army
Mao Tse tung now commands the People’s Liberation Army under China’s newly adopted constitution. The charter, approved Jan 17, drops the presidency and grants Mao control of the armed forces. The document signals a post Mao direction, with Premier Chou En Lai shaping a moderate domestic and international policy. Teng Hsiao-ping’s rise as vice chairman and Politburo member positions him as a potential successor. Mao’s absence at congress and central committee meetings contrasts with a cautious, peaceful stance against aggression, while worker rights and peasant sideline production are expanded.
