The Chinese Embassy in Bucharest reports on Romania's views of de-Stalinization, Albania, and China.

Liu Shaoqi presents a list of questions and issues to Stalin that the Chinese Communist Party seeks advice upon.

Zhou reports on the initial plans for his visit to Moscow and some of the conversations he's held concerning the Korean War.

Ye Jianying reflects on the "Fascist dictatorship perpetuated by Lin Biao and the Gang of Four."

Hua Guofeng criticizes the Gang of Four, evaluates Deng Xiaoping, comments on demonstrations in Tiananmen Square, and calls for the CCP to "implement Chairman Mao's proletarian revolutionary line."

In this telegram Zhou Enlai instructs Li Kenong to travel with Molotov to Geneva because Zhou needs to remain in Beijing to receive instructions from the Central Committee before leaving for Geneva.

Zhou Enlai states that under the current situation the communist side should make concessions on the Laos and Cambodia questions so that the conference will continue. Additionally he sees the key issue in the negotiation now is whether to acknowledge that there are Vietnamese troops in the two countries.

Zhou Enlai highlights the main problems with the Communist negotiation strategy, which lies in lack of proper understanding of the complexity of the Indochina question. He also stresses that both sides need to discuss "three key issues, namely, dividing zones, ceasefire supervision and international guarantee."

In his telegram, Zhou Enlai informs Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, and CCP Central Committee about the first days of the Geneva Conference. Discussion on the Korea question has already entered a deadlock and it seems that the Chinese, French, and Russian delegations have arranged to meet outside the conference to discuss Indochina.

The Chinese Embassy in Bucharest concludes that "Romania will agree with the USSR on major differences with China."
