less of It is not in the American interest to have conditions of extreme tension, even less of war, between the Soviet Union and China...
What does "even less of war" mean?

It is even less in America's interest to have a condition of war between the two nations.
It is not a very clearly-written sentence.

I think you need a comma after 'less', to keep the original sentence.
