Summary

In 1965, the Swiss satirical journal Nebelspalter published a cartoon about the large number of staff at the Chinese embassy in Bern. In the cartoon, a smiling Chinese man has his legs rooted by a large clew of two-headed worms, which symbolise Chinese intelligence and propaganda activity. Under the cartoon, a caption states that the worms are trying to turn ‘Swiss soil into Chinese soil’ (see Figure 0.1).
