Mystery Man in Peking
September 28, 1977...world premiere for a faceless Cambodian leader and a
ceremony for anointing the Sino-Khmer alliance. [...] A hundred
thousand Peking residents were brought to line the area outside the
airport...to greet the exceptional Cambodian guests. [...]
Pol
Pot warmly shook hands with Chinese premier and party chairman Hua
Guofeng on the tarmac. Eight top party leaders, nearly a third of the
Chinese party's powerful Politburo, including freshly rehabilitated
Vice-Premier Deng Xiaoping, gathered at the airport to underline the
closeness of China's friendship with Democratic Kampuchea. [...]
Hoang Van Hoan...vice-chairman of the Vietnamese National Assembly.
...two years later [autumn 1979] Hoan would shock the world by becoming
the first top Vietnamese leader to defect to China and denounce Hanoi's
policy toward Cambodia.
[For the invasion? The brutality? The
looting and plundering of Phnom Penh? For diverting food aid to Vietnam
during famine in Cambodia? For invasion AND occupation? For massive
flooding of Cambodia with Vietnam's undesirables? For soon to be
implemented K-5 Plan, a smaller-scale genocide to the KR years?
Interested to know more about this man...]
