Walter S. Robinson estimates based on State Department intelligence through 1958 and new reports after Tibet’s invasion show communism losing ground in many Asian states. He notes reversals in Indonesia, Kerala elections, and Laos, with India opposing Red China’s influence and Malaya and South Vietnam showing declines in guerrilla activity. Formosa remains resistant, Korea underground, and Japan’s Communist Party weakened and split.
