 : I think an Indian attack on China would be a very serious matter that couldn't be explained in terms of local conditions, but only in terms of a broader objective.


 * There is no use in attacking Tibet, for the Indians. The most they can do is that the Indians give their troops to fight for a broader objective.

[helping with translation:] Provide manpower for a broader objective.


 * Very serious. There is no purely Indian objective that could be served.

 * Your Ambassador [Huang Hua] fired a whole bunch of cannons [on Cambodia] yesterday, at the United Nations. [Laughter]


 * That's the routine work of our Ambassador. [Laughter]


 * But this time he hit a few fortified positions. [Laughter]


 * That proves these cannons are not so formidable -- but cannons will have to be fired.


 * We understand.


 * It can't be imagined that we will stop supporting the struggle of the Cambodian people.
