Kashmir Princess
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmir_Princess
The Kashmir Princess, or Air India Flight 300, was a chartered Lockheed L-749A Constellation Air India flight.
On 11 April 1955, it was damaged in midair by a bomb explosion and crashed into the South China Sea while en route from Bombay, India, and Hong Kong to Jakarta, Indonesia.
Sixteen of those on board were killed, while three survived.
The explosion was an assassination attempt targeting Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai, who missed the flight either due to a medical emergency or, as one historian concluded, because he had prior knowledge.
The Chinese government insisted that Hong Kong authorities investigate; they concluded that the Kuomintang (KMT) were responsible for the bombing.
Explosion
Flight 300 departed Hong Kong at 04:25 GMT carrying Chinese and Eastern European delegates, mainly journalists, to the Afro-Asian Bandung Conference in Jakarta.
Investigation
China had from the outset accused the United States of involvement in the bombing, but while the CIA had considered a plan to assassinate Zhou Enlai at this time, the Church Committee – a US Senate select committee that investigated the US intelligence community - reported that these plans were disapproved of and "strongly censured" by Washington.
In a 1971 face-to-face meeting in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Zhou directly asked Henry Kissinger about US involvement in the bombing. Kissinger responded, "As I told the Prime Minister the last time, he vastly overestimates the competence of the CIA."
However, in 1967, an American defector in Moscow, John Discoe Smith, had claimed that he had delivered a suitcase containing an explosive mechanism to a Chinese nationalist in Hong Kong.

Zhou Enlai (5 March 1898 – 8 January 1976) was a Chinese statesman, diplomat, and revolutionary who served as the first Premier of the People's Republic of China from September 1954 until his death in January 1976.
Early life
European activities
Other important activities Zhou undertook included recruiting and transporting students for the University of the Toilers of the East in Moscow, and the establishment of the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang or KMT) European branch.
PRC diplomat and statesman
The Asian–African Conference
On his way to the Bandung conference, an assassination attempt was made against Zhou when a bomb was planted on the Air India plane Kashmir Princess, chartered for Zhou's trip from Hong Kong to Jakarta. Zhou avoided the attempt when he changed planes at the last minute, but all 11 of the flight's other passengers were killed, with only three crew members surviving the crash. A recent study has blamed the attempt on "one of the intelligence agencies of the KMT."

カシミールプリンセス号爆破事件は、中華人民共和国政府がチャーターしたインド航空機カシミールプリンセス号が空中爆発し不時着水したもので、中華人民共和国の政府要人を狙った航空テロとされる。
このテロは周恩来首相の暗殺を狙ったものであり、中華人民共和国と対立していた中華民国国防部秘保局に買収された中国人清掃係が、
香港国際空港で発火装置を仕掛けたとされた。
なお、中華民国側は事件への関与は否定しているが、中国共産党政府および香港政庁は事実であると主張している。
なおアメリカ合衆国のCIAの関与があったともいわれている。

中国はアラブ連合共和国とともにCONEFO本部建設の最大支援国となっており[10]、
