This United Nations document is quite an eye-opener since it contradicts what the major media has for decades been telling its listeners/readers, i.e., that the Soviet Union/Russia and China were at loggerheads and had no interest in working together. Note use by these two totalitarian countries of communese language: “peaceful, stable, just, and rational new international order”.
Excerpt follows:
7. Mankind is on the threshold of a new era. The peoples of all countries are faced with the increasingly urgent question of the kind of international order they will live under in the next century. The Parties call on all countries to engage in an active dialogue on the establishment of a peaceful, stable, just and rational new international order, and they are prepared to take part in a joint discussion of any constructive proposals to this end.
