Remembering the time when CIA collaborated w Taiwan intelligence to assassinate Zhou Enlai on his way to Bandung conference in Indonesia by blowing up his ride Air India’s Princess Kashmir over South China Sea in 1955. Zhou had emergency appendectomy, missed the flight. 16 died.

Bandung Conference aka Asian–African Conference organized by Indonesian President Sukarno, Indian PM Nehru and Zhou Enlai and the prospect of a coalition of newly independent states of the Global South freaked out US planners that they did everything in their power to sabotage it

Bandung Conference 1955 led the way to Non-Aligned Movement. But 1962 Sino-Indian War as result of increasing tension frm CIA sponsored 1959 Tibetan Revolt, and US backed coup overthrowing Sukarno in Indonesia in 1965 would damp the spirit of Bandung.
