Since all our discussions during this trip were so frank, it was understandable that the Chinese were nervous about the possibility of leaks. I am sure that Chou had no trouble imagining the propaganda use the Kremlin would have for the transcripts of our talks. en Zhou dynasty, realm and era. en 1908 w:Edward Harper Parker Ancient China Simplified https://archive.org/details/ancientchinasimp00park_0/ London w:Chapman & Hall, Ltd. 563512600 xi https://archive.org/details/ancientchinasimp00park_0/page/n14/ Chou: at first a principality in South Shen Si and part of Kan Suh, subject to Shang dynasty; afterwards the imperial dynasty itself.Ts‘in: principality west of the above.

In 771BC the barbarian Jung tribes sacked the Chou capital at Hao, and forced the court to flee eastwards down the Yellow River to Lo-yang. Most of the king's vassals failed to support him in this crisis. This is the context for the famous story about the foolish emperor who called out his nobles with their troops for a joke, to amuse his concubine, so that when a real invasion occurred they no longer took any notice. Whatever the truth of this, the Chou ruler could no longer rely on his over-mighty subjects. References Further reading pn Anagrams en chou Chūō Ouch ouch French Proper noun Shu (Egyptology)
