De Gaulle Recognizes Red China
Paris reports President Charles de Gaulle formally recognized Communist China despite U S objections and a nationalist Chinese threat to sever relations. The move aims to broaden French markets and lessen U S influence in Asia, with Mao Tse Tung calling for Japan to expel U S forces as the Soviet jet era looms. The U S State Department expressed regret, calling the step unfortunate and warning it could boost Chinese aggression worldwide.
