ASU modern Chinese history expert Dr. Stephen MacKinnon, who met Chou En-lai in 1972, predicts collective leadership in China led by Teng Hsiao-ping and Chang Chun-chiao with Wang Hung-wen and Yao Wen-yuan, and no major intra-party power struggle in the next decade. He notes Mao’s frail health, compares to Ho Chi Minh’s post death power dynamics, and warns U.S. ties could shift if Washington delays recognizing Beijing.
