98. A characteristic feature of the present world situation is the increasing activity of the most reactionary and aggressive protagonists of imperialism in the face of the irresistible growth and consolidation of anti-imperialist and progressive forces. Meeting stiffer opposition in such overt adventures as the colonial war being waged by the United States in Viet-Nam, they are resorting to more devious means of pursuing their evil designs against the forces of peace and social progress. 99. The so-called “bridge-building" policy, with its Bonn version, the “new Eastern policy”, towards the socialist countries is the king-pin of world imperialism’s global strategy. The imperialists spare no effort to intensify subversive activities and ideological sabotage against the socialist countries and to dismember the socialist system, which is the decisive factor opposing imperialist reaction and a reliable bulwark of the peoples in their struggle for peace, national independence, democracy and socialism.
