Mondale opens China visit with cool public welcome
Vice President Mondale lands in Beijing to a restrained public reception as Deng Xiaoping greets him at the airport. He and his wife Joan dine with Huang Hua and plan a city tour with their daughter, then attend a banquet in the Great Hall of the People. The trip aims to discuss Indochinese refugees and Southeast Asia, and to advance a broad cultural exchange pact while later visiting Xi’an Canton Hong Kong and Tokyo before returning Sept. 3.
