1. Deng Condemns Gorbachev Plans
         -- by David Chen
            From: scc; kwchan@hkucs.UUCP (Chan Ki Wa)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

China's  senior  leader  Deng  Xiaoping  has  strongly criticised
Soviet  President  Mikhail  Gorbachev  and several socialist bloc
countries for the latest developments in Eastern Europe.

Mr Deng, who met Mr Gorbachev in an historic summit in May at the
height of the student movement, accused the Soviet leader of pur-
suing  a  political  path  which was "not in conformity with true
Marxism-Leninism".

He  also accused Poland, Hungary, East Germany and Czechoslovakia
of "deviating from the correct line".

Mr  Deng  instructed  members  of  the Chinese Communist Party to
further  Marxist  ideology  as  a  prerequisite for improving the
economy, a better sense of security and the general well-being of
the people.

The  remarks were made at one of the small discussion groups dur-
ing  the  four-day  fifth  plenary session of the party's Central
Committee earlier this month.

Present  at the discussions were the six members of the Politburo
Standing  Committee, President Yang Shangkun and the chaireman of
the  National  People's  Congress,  Mr  Wan Li.  It was a similar
get-together  to the one on September 4 when the patriarch talked
about  retiring  and  the abolition of the party Central Advisory
Committee.

But  this was the first time that Mr Deng, who has been apprehen-
sive about developments in Eastern Europe over the past two years
and who is known to be less then enthusiastic with Mr Gorbachev's
perestroika  and  glasnost  programs,  has  criticised the Soviet
leader's policies.

Although  the discussions at the plenary session centred largedly
on  the change in the Central Military Commission and on economic
issues, Mr Deng's preoccupation with Eastern Europe show that the
leadership  is  beginning to work out a new strategy in the light
of developments there.

He  told  the Standing Committee members that China was caught up
in  the  midst  of  rapid  changes  in the world - similar to the
situation  he described in his June 9 speech to commanders of the
martial law troops.

2. Three Qinghua Students Committed Suicide in One Month
       >From: scc; tang@SSURF.UCSD.EDU 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According  to  Chinese  Daily  News (World Journal), Nov. 25,
three Qinghua (Beijing) students committed suicide in one month.

    Two  graduate students, Tan Zuji, 23, Dept. of Water Resource
(Shui3  Zi1  Yuan2) and Guo Wei, 24, Dept. of Business Management
(Jing1  Ji4 Guan3 Li3), jumped out of window of their dormitories
on  Oct.  1 and Nov. 2, respectively.  Other students say the two
suicide  students  had been investigated by police and were under
heavy  political  pressure, because of their participation in the
pro-democracy movement.

    A  student  of  Dept.  of  Electrical Engineering (Dian4 JI1)
jumped  dowm  from  third floor on Oct. 31.  He died last week in
hospital.
