Sam Jaffe · Featured in Program Sam Jaffe, a former CBS and ABC news reporter and now a free-lance writer, was the guest speaker at the Asia Week convocation Monday, Feb. 14. T h e convocation centered around Communist China, it's feelings, and concern it has for the world. Mr. Jaffe, who attendeed the Asia Conference in 1955 and interviewed Clrou En Lai, has studied China's problems and background. Mr. Jaffe began with President Nixon's trip to China. President Nixon is going to China because the U. S. recognizes that China is a nuclear power and that the U. S. must come to terms with this new power. Diplomatic relations will not be set up because it is too soon and President Nixon will not accomplish much. Mr. Jaffe also said that since this annou ncement that President Nixon was going to China, the news media has been flooded with documentaries on China and "it should have happened a long time ago." He also believes that there would have been no Vietnam or Korea if the U. S. would have recognized China in 1949. In 1944, Mao Tse Tung sent a message to the U. S. asking for aid and help; the U. S. didn't even answer! Tb.is is the reason why, Mr. Jaffe believes, China turned to Rus&a in
1949. In 1956 Mr. Jaffe was one of 18 news men who was invited to Chfoa for one month. When this was announced an immediate smear campaign was started by the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State also said that if Mr. Jaffe went to China, then their passports wou ld be picked u·p.
Washington just didn't want him to go. The big question in China, MrJaffe claims, Is over Taiwan. Both Red China and Nationalist China agree that Taiwan is part of Mainland CbiQ8. Chow En Lai · claims that China will never recognize the U. S. until the question of Taiwan is settled. Henry Kis.5inger, advisor to President Nixon, said that Red China and Nationalist China must settle the problem. Japan will be the next question. China Is afraid and suspicious of Japan's new military build up. Twice before Japan has invaded China. Because of this, China is building bomb-shelter because they are afraid, not only of Japan, but of the U. S. and Russia. China also has internal problems, Jaffe reported. Dams, land, and food are the major ones, but the people are doing the work to better their country and have done a "fantastic work." Mr. Jaffe believes that China will ask what they can do for the U. S. and not for money. China is especially concerned about their borders with RuSfila. Much of the territory claimed by Russia is actually China's, Mr. Jaffe claims. This is supported by treaties and the history of China. Mr. Jaffe claims that the U. S. is embarking on a new policy. The U. S. is no longer the "monolith" of the world. The U. S. had a good relationship with China before 1949, and Mr. Jaffe believes that the U. $. must learn and understand other countries to avert nuclear war. The Chinese must be brought into the national community and through this world peace could become a reality.
