McNamara singles out Red China as top U S adversary
Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara, in a 207 page annual report to the House Armed Services Committee, says Communist China is the United States chief adversary while noting China’s military is handicapped without Soviet aid and that Moscow’s policy could affect China’s aggression. The Viet Nam War tests China’s theory of overthrowing non Communist governments with external covert aid, McNamara adds, as Laos sees gains by Communists offset by Laotian government offensives.
