Zhou and Comrade Chen Yi: [1]
Too soft. Must be extremely tough. Handle the Norway matter [3] in the same way, but the degree of toughness may be slightly reduced.

[1] This first part is a comment on the draft directive from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs dated April 23, 1959, to the Chinese Embassy in India; the second part consists of revisions to that draft directive. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' draft directive stated: "Your telegram of April 21 has been noted. Regarding the incident in which members of the Indian Socialist Party demonstrated at our consulate in Bombay and insulted the portrait of our Chairman, we agree that your embassy and the Bombay consulate should, in the form of a memorandum, raise the matter with the Indian Ministry of External Affairs and the Bombay local government respectively, pointing out that this constitutes a gross insult to our head of state and the beloved leader of our people. When the rioters carried out the insult, the police not only failed to intervene but also moved aside onlookers to allow journalists to take photographs, which clearly amounts to connivance. The Chinese government cannot but express indignation and hereby lodges a strong protest. The Indian government is requested to promptly investigate this matter, take necessary measures, and ensure that similar incidents do not occur in the future."
[2] Zhou refers to Zhou Enlai. Chen Yi was then Vice Premier of the State Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
[3] This refers to the May Day statement published on April 20, 1959, in the Norwegian Labour Party's official newspaper *Arbeiderbladet*, signed by Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions Chairman Nordahl and Norwegian Labour Party Chairman Gerhardsen, which openly slandered and attacked China's suppression of the rebellion in Tibet.
