ABSTRACT
The Chinese naturally showed the most hostility on the subject of Indian foreign policy and the Naxalite rebellions. The foreign minister visited Peking on September 17,1968, and was followed by the premier. The conflict was regarded as an attempt to break the national unity of Pakistan, and as a serious interference in Pakistan's internal affairs; the Indians were accused of encouraging the rebels and were threatened with intervention along the border. In its anxiety to counterbalance India adequately, China, instead of behaving like a revolutionary country, acted like a great state protecting its essential interest, which was to maintain the divisions on the Indian subcontinent. China continued to give aid to the Yemen and began to help the People's Democratic Republic of Southern Yemen after its creation on November 30, 1967. The Chinese kept in close touch with developments in Africa through various African and Afro-Asian organizations or conferences.
