It is an exceedingly rare event when the leader of the Chinese nation travels abroad. Emperors never left "The Middle Kingdom" (the meaning of the name "China," signifying the center of things political). It has happened only three times since the Communists came to power in 1949. Therefore, Chairman Hua Kuo-feng's historic trip to Romania and Yugoslavia (with Iran thrown in for good measure) is extremely important. In fact, it is part and parcel of an amazing realignment of political forces of the world today. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
