From The Hindu, January 23, 1975: China extends ping-pong diplomacy to India
New Delhi, Jan 22: China is sending a 62-member contingent led by a deputy minister to the 33rd World Table Tennis Championships starting on February 6 in Calcutta with all the overtones of ping-pong diplomacy, combining politics and sports.
Although the number of Chinese players participating in the tournament is only 24, the delegation will consist of officials, press personnel, cameramen, doctors, interpreters, security personnel and communications personnel.
The Chinese team will be guests of the Indian Table Tennis Federation, but the costs are likely to be borne by the Ministry of Education. The political aspects of the visit will be handled by the Ministry of External Affairs from Delhi. The Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mr. Siddhartha Shankar Ray, who is closely associated with the tournament, will provide the necessary contact person for managing its diplomatic resources.
China's participation in this World Table Tennis Championships in Calcutta has assumed significance as Beijing has practiced the art of ping-pong diplomacy with considerable success to improve its relations with the US and Japan, besides forging closer ties with a number of other countries. . India also joined this innovation when it accepted the Chinese invitation to participate in the Afro-Asian Latin American tournament a few years ago.
Like Mao's famous smile, the little ping-pong ball failed to break the prevailing stalemate as other events had further complicated the Sino-Indian situation in the meantime. But at least it left the door open for minimal sports exchanges, despite the continued freeze on the political front.
