Shall we recognize Communist China and admit her to the United Nations? Those who advocate such a policy seem to believe that Mao Tse-tung’s regime is more peace-minded today than it was at its inception a decade ago. Is this so? Have the Chinese Communists relaxed their struggle against their own people or against the free world, especially the uncommitted nations of Asia?
The title of Richard Louis Walker’s new book, The Continuing Struggle, expresses his conviction that, far from allowing the dust to settle, the masters of mainland China are continuing—and intensifying—their fight for the global victory of Communist totalitarianism. They do it in the face of substantial handicaps: the disadvantages of geography, the pressures of population, the dissatisfactions of national minorities, and the hostilities of a huge peasantry.
