China: Political Situation
The Secretary of State has seen your minute of 9 March and the comments on it. He thought that Mr Clark's teleletter was useful. He thinks on balance that Zhao Ziyang will probably come through his present difficulties. A key indicator will clearly be whether or not he succeeds to the Chairmanship of the Central Military Commission.
