On January 5-7 & January 9-11 in Shanghai and Hong Kong I participated in conferences on Sino-Soviet relations and on Mao's foreign policy during the Cultural Revolution. In Shanghai I presented a paper on the Indochinese "obstacle" to Sino-Soviet normalization, and in Hong Kong, a paper on the Soviet perception of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. In both Shanghai and Hong Kong I participated in roundtable discussions: in Shanghai with Lorenz Luthi and Roderick MacFarquhar and in Hong Kong with Chen Jian, Frank Dikotter, Lorenz Luthi, Roderick MacFarquhar and Odd Arne Westad.
