Kissinger sharpens China policy focus
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger publicly stated that China’s territorial integrity and sovereignty are crucial to world stability and that an outside power threatening China would be a grave matter. He opened the door to potential arms sales to China and signaled a stronger U.S. deterrent stance, though specifics on future actions were not given. The remarks surprised State Department officials and arrived amid broader Sino-Soviet tensions and internal Chinese political shifts including Hua Guo-feng’s rise.

12 killed in new Rhodesian fighting
Salisbury reports stepped up fighting between Rhodesian security forces and nationalist guerrillas has left 12 dead in the days ahead of the Geneva conference. Eight guerrillas and two black collaborators were killed, plus a black man shot as he tried to seize a guard’s weapon. Stephanus Naude, a 39 year old white agricultural officer, died when guerrillas attacked a village. Total guerrilla deaths this year reach 1,148. Naude is the 44th white civilian killed. The Geneva talks will set up an interim government and convene Oct 28. Mozambican troops fired on white owned plantations at Freddie's Ridge, the timing seen as significant before the talks. Western sources doubt Mozambique seeks a peaceful settlement.
