Prospects of China's Foreign
Trade in the Period of the
Second Five-Year Plan
by Lu Sze-kuan
China's foreign trade in the period of the Second
Five-Year Plan will increase substantially, keeping pace
with lilt, rapid development of the national economy as
a whole. 1953 is the year of the "big leap" when all
spheres of the national economy will make a great effort
to advance. This leap xvill be reflected in foreign trade.
China's foreign trade made considerable progress
(luring the peroid of the First Five-Year Plan. Statistics
show that the total amount of imports and exports in
this period was 7.4 per cent greater than originally
planned. The volume of imports and exports in 1957
was increased by (10.3 per cent compared with 1952.
China's policy of expanding trade with the rest of
the world is based on equality and mutual benefit. As
a result, her foreign trade relations with other countries
were greatly expanded in the past five years. In 1952
China had business transaction with 55 countries and
regions: by the cud of 1957, the number of countries
and regions having trade relations with this country
increased to 82, of which 24 countries signed trade
agreements with the Chinese Government.
In this same period much progress was nude in our
trade with the Soviet Union and the People's Democracies.
IIv 1957 the total amount of China's imports from and
exports to these countries was increased by 111.66 per cent
cunipared with 1952, amounting to 75 per cent of the
tidal of her imports and exports in the period of the
First Fire-Year flan. This expansion of trade and close
economic co-ordination among the fraternal countries
strengthens their friendship and solidarity and helps
bring about economic development and prosperity in
the countries of the socialist camp.
China's trade with the Asian-African countries made
rapid progress in the past five years, particularly after
the Bandung Conference in 1955. In 1957, the total
wilounl of imports and exports between this country
and the Asian-Al('lean countries and regions was about
:30 per (-(,ill greater than in 1952.
Although some Western countries have not yet
given up their unpopular policy of the discriminatory
trade "embargo," progress has been made in trading
with these countries. This is a rseult of the great efforts
made by China and the pressing demand of the in-
dustrialists and businessmen in many countries for trade
with China. In 1957, the amount of imports and exports
between China and the Western countries grew mole
than fivefold compared with 1952.
The rapid development of production and construc-
tion at home is reflected in the steady increase of
imports and exports, and in their quantity and variety.
China has imported complete Soviet-made sets of equip-
ment to supply giant, modern industrial plants which
were built with the help of the Soviet Union and also
some IYoin the fraternal countries in East Europe. China
has also imported large amounts of metal-cutting
machine tools, lorries, railway wagons, tractors, machines,
precision instruments, various steel products, non-
ferrous metal, petroleum, cotton, wool, wool tops, arti-
ficial silk, dyestuff, rubber, chemical fertilizer, in-
secticides and consumer goods such as sugar, medicine,
paper, kerosene and wristwatches.
Export, items included mineral ores, farm produce,
native products, animal products, food, handicrafts. As
industry developed new products were added to the
export list. They are: complete sets of equipment for
certain light industries, steel products, machine tools,
machinery, iron nails, iron wire, glass, serving machine,
bicycle, fountain pen, thermos flask, wool cloth, cotton
knit-wear, cotton cloth and canned food. This advance
in imports and exports have created favourable condi-
tions for the further development of China's foreign
trade.
The general principle of the Second Five-Yen'
Plan is the simultaneous development of industry and
agriculture with priority given to heavy industry. The
task in this period is to lay a solid foundation for the
socialist industrialization of the country and rapidly
develop agriculture.
From now on, China's central task in industrial
production is to catch tip or surpass Britain within 15
years in the output of iron, steel and other major in-
dustrial products. All industrial ministries and depart-

meals with this goa1. have put forward targets for
increased production. New levels of industrial produc-
tion are being reached throughout the country. In the
uenr future numerous large industrial centres will he
built ill many sections of the country.
All deparlinenis of agricultural production are
working to carry out the provisions of the "National
I'rogranunc for Agricultural Development, 1956-1967
(Revise(I Dral't)". In the next ten years, with the
exception of some regions, the average grain output per
1111)11 will reach 400, 500 and 800 cattics depending on
the region; the average cotton output will be 40, 60, 80
and 1011 cntties per 117011. Creat efforts will be made to
develop a multiple economy in the countryside to fulfil
the production targets I'or agricultural products, by-
products, native products, animal products and aquatic
;111(1 marine products.
This leap forward in both industry and agriculture
is likely to he reflected in expanded foreign trade. The
supply of various important materials needed in pro-
duction must he ensured if' industry and agriculture are
to develop rapidly. For industry the following items
are needed: steel products, non-ferrous metals, all types
of machine tools and machinery, petroleum and other
industrial raw materials and equipment. For agriculture,
China will need: chemical fertilizer, insecticides,
tractors, agricultural machinery, machines for irrigation
and draining. Diesel engines, steam engines, water
pumps, electric motors, boilers, excavators, seeds, draught
horse etc.
As industi.v and agriculture develop the purchasing
power It home will grow and the demand for all types
of consumer goods will increase. To meet this demand
nnucy of the items will be produced domestically, but
a considerable number still have to be imported includ-
ing the raw materials.
On the other hand, as the variety of products made
in China increases and the quality- improves, more goods
will he ready for export. Exports of agriculture pro-
duce, and native products, animal products, aquatic and
marine products, food, handicrafts, industrial goods,
mineral ores, crops of the tropical and sub-tropical
zones will also be greater, than the amount exported in
the period of the First Five-Year Plan. Thes' will also
be richer in variety. China now produces a large
amount of goods 1'or export, thereby increasing her
rneans of purchasing imports. It is quite certain that
in the period of the Second Five-Year Plan, China's
foreign trade will be on a much greater scale than it
was in the preceding five years.
To fulfil the task of increasing both exports and
imports, China will continue to expand her trade with
the Soviet Union and the People's Democracies, to fur-
ther strengthen economic co-ordination with the
socialist countries. At the same time, she will continue
to expand her trade with the Asian-African countries
and regions based on the principle of equality and
mutual benefit. Exchange of goods will be carried out
on a large scale to meet each other's needs in economic
development and thus to bring about mutual develop-
ment. Normal business transactions with the West will
also be expanded on the basis of equality and mutual
benefit in accordance with the actual needs and when-
ever it is possible. Of course, this depends on what
attitude the Western countries are to take in the Future.
In February of this year, China and Japan signed rc
long-term agreements on the exchange of goods for
1958-1962 which provides that China is to exchange iron
ore and coal for Japan's steel products. In five years
the value of exports by both parties will amount to 1011
million pounds sterling. This agreement exemplifies the
great potential of China's exports and imports in the
period of the Second Five-Year Plan.
In view of the needs of the rapidly developing na-
tional economy, China will expand her import pro-
gramme for 1958. In accordance with the plan, the
total amount of exports and imports this year will be
about 11,00(1 million Yuan, an increase of 8.6 per cent
over that of 1957. This target is, however, subject to
change, for the entire national economy is making rapid
progress and it is likely that this target, too, will be
overfulfitled.

BOND OF "PEACE, FRIENDSHIP
AND TRADE"
For many centuries there have been economic and
cultural contacts between China and other Afro-Asian
countries, after the founding of the People's Republic of
China these relationships were extended. Now they
are being further strengthened and developed under the
influence of the "Bandung Spirit," initiated at the
Bandung Conference of Afro-Asian countries in 1955.
During the period of 1951-1957, sixteen exhibitions
were held in Asia-Africa, occupying a total exhibition
area of 60,919 square metres. Included is our participa-
tion in the international fairs in Bombay and New Dehli,
India; in Djakarta, Indonesia; in Karachi, Pakistan; in
Damascus, Syria; in Casablanca, Morocco and in Kabul,
Afghanistan, in addition to our Commodity or Agricutural
& Industrial Exhibitions held in Toyko, Osaka, Cairo,
Rangoon and Hanoi. Over 17 million people have visited
our exhibitions. Last March we also held a Commodity
Exhibition in Colombo, and last April we took part in
the International Fair for Egyptian Cotton in Cairo.
A wide selection of products made by the Chinese
people was displayed at these fairs and exhibitions.
Among the products were heavy industrial machines
such as machine tools, textile machinery, precision elec-
trical measuring instruments, light industrial machinery,
agricultural machinery, general machinery, scientific in-
strucl!on which China has made since liberation, and
also acquainted them with the quality of Chinese pro-
ducts and her export potential, thereby strengthening
their confidence in developing trade relations with
China.
Chinese products on display have won wide acclaim
in Afro-Asian countries. Visitors to the Chinese displays
remarked: "Chinese goods are rich in variety, reasonable
in price, high in quality and practical." After carefully
watching the machine demonstrations at the exhibitions,
the visitors were convinced that Chinese machines are
indeed good quality and suitable to the climatic, technical
and other conditions of the Afro-Asian region. The
light industrial products, textiles, consumer goods and
handicrafts were judged to be of good quality, pleasing
in appearance, reasonable in price. in(] capable of meet-
ing the needs of the local population. Many businessmen
came to inquire after the specifications, prices, and capaci-
ties of our machines and other products, and asked to
establish business contacts with our export corporations.
There were businessmen who wished to act as sales
agents for Chinese export commodities, and some business-
men concluded transactions on the spot with the re-
presentatives of our export corporations. The sincere
desire of business people to establish and expand trade
struments, medical instruments, etc. There
were also consumer goods such as silk fabrics,
cotton piece goods, embroideries, carpets, radio
sets, bicycles, sewing machines. wines, tobacco
and canned foods. There were agricultural
products such as rice, soyabeans, ground-nuts,
eggs and Bing-oil. There were beautifully-
wrought handicrafts like ivory carving, por-
celain, cloisonne, lacquer ware and jade, to
name just a few. Many of the heavy and
light industrial products had never been pro-
duced by China in the old days. However, as
a result of the successful fulfilment of the First
Five-Year Plan for the development of her
national economy, China is now able not only
to manufacture industrial products but to ex-
port them in quantity.
The exhibitions enabled the peoples of the
Afro-Asian countries to have a better under-
standing of the achievements in peaceful con-

relations vyith China on the basis of
equality and mutual benefit resulted in
extensive cnnlacts with commercial circles
and in a lark vnluni(' of business lran-
sncled in the course of the exhibitions.
In fact, trade between China and
Atro-Asian countries is growing steadily.
t:or the last few years, China has con-
cluded trade agreements or contracts on
a governmental basis with Ceylon, Indo-
nesia, India, Burma. Pakistan, United
Arah Republic. Afghanistan, Morocco,
'"mien. In the past few vears all these
trade agreements and contracts have been
inlplemenled and carried out to the satis-
faction of both parties. China now has
trade relations with ,113 countries and
regions in Asia and Africa. In addition
to the traditional export items, the exports
now include industrial products like radio
sets, bicycles, sewing machines and steel
products, as well as complete units of textile mills and
cement plants. From these countries we have imported
such important materials as cotton, jute, rubber. etc.
These are clear examples of the possibilities for ever-
increasing trade between China and other Afro-Asian
countries on the basis of equality and mutual benefit.
It is noteworthy that at many of the exhibitions in
the Afro-Asian countries, the local governments and peo-
ple helped Chinese exhibition delegations. They regarded
our delegate as "messengers of peace and friendship."
Many who visited the Chinese exhibitions, expressed
their friendship to our working staffs and asked them

Having successfully fulfilled her First

China are enthusiastically engaged in peaceful
socialist construction. Our technology is con-

cultural products available for export to Afro-
Asian countries will increase in variety,

import requirements from these countries will
expand correspondingly.

never forget this profound friendship of the Afro-Asian
people who once shared with us the common experience
of colonial oppression. We believe that, with the libera-
tion, independence and growing prosperity of the nations
of Asia and Africa, the economic ties between them and
China will be ever closer and the friendship between
the Chinese people and the other peoples of Asia and
Africa will be strengthened and developed.

The Development of Trade between China and
Afro-Asian Countries
In 1957 and the Prospects of Trade in /958
The People's Republic of China, since its founding
in 1919, -has vigorously taken steps to develop trade rela-
tions with Afro-Asian countries. During the past few
years. China has signed many trade agreements with
these countries, thereby tremendously increasing the
voloom of trade.
In 1957, China's trade relations with Afro-Asian coun-
tries have developed still further. An exchange and
payment agreement with Afghanistan, and a new trade
and payment agreement with Ceylon including a pro-
tocol for the exchange of goods for the first year and an
economic-aid agreement were signed. China also signed
her tooth trade agreement with Japan, exchanged trade
:ioccunents with Morocco for the development of trade
between the two countries, and signed the third annual
protocol for the exchange of goods with Egypt. Besides
these, trade agreements with India, Indonesia. and Burma
are running smoothly. Industrial and commercial circles
in Japan, India, Burma, Ceylon. Indonesia, Pakistan,
Syria and Egypt (now been merged as United Arab
Republic) Thailand, Malaya, Singapore, North Borneo,
Cambodia, South Vietnam, Lebanon, Iraq, Aden, and
Jordan sent representatives to China for trade talks or
visits. China's various trading companies, in turn sent
delegations or trade groups to visit Japan, Burma, India,
Ceylon, Indonesia, Pakistan, Syria, Egypt. Sudan, Moro-
cco and Yemen, and made many business transactions
while abroad. Rubber, cotton and other imports from
Afro-Asian countries increased in quantity as compared
with 1956. Imports also included sugar, textiles, watches
and sundries.
Besides exporting traditional commercial goods to
Afro-Asian countries, China's industrial exports increased
greatly in variety and quantity. Chinese-made machines
have begun to appear in Afro-Asian countries. For in-
stance. China has exported textile machines, diesel en-
gines, and lathes to Egypt, and diesel engines to Syria.
In addition, China helped Burma build a cotton textile
mill with 20,000 spindles and 200 looms. These are now
being installed. Negotiations are under way to assist
Cambodia to build cotton textile, paper and plywood mills,
and a cement factory.
What factors have spurred the development of
China's trade relations with Afro-Asian countries in 1957'?
Firstly, 1957 was the last year of China's First Five-year
Plan, and imports from these countries were needed. At
the same time she could supply these countries with
more goods. China's trade with Afro-Asian countries
means not only supplying one -mother's needs, but also
mutual aid. When Egypt was resisting Anglo-French
invasion, China bought the bulk of her cotton and sup-
plied her with urgently needed materials. While Syria
was resisting Turkey's U.S.-instigated attacks, China
also purchased large quantities of her cotton. Afro-Asian
countries have at the same time supplied China with
many important industrial raw materials to help her
develop her industry.
Secondly, the increase of trade with Afro-Asian coun-
tries in the past year was due to the tremendous develop-
ment of the national independence movement of these
countries. Desiring not only political independence, but
also to free themselves from the ,yoke of capitalist coun-
tries over their economy and trade, Afro-Asian coun-
tries have promulgated plans for economic development,
building up their national economy in an active way.
They also fervently wish to develop trade with China
and among themselves.
What are the prospects of trade relations between
China and the Afro-Asian countries in 19511? Before
answering this question, let us first take a look at pre-
sent conditions in China and in the Afro-Asian countries.
China has overfulfilled her First Five-year Plan in
every phase, and both industrial and agricultural output
have greatly increased. On the industrial side, steel
A Long Term Barter Agreement (1958-1962) and a
Protocal on Exchange of Goods for 1958 were
signed on February 26, 1958 in Peking, between

output reached 5.J4 million tons, pig-iron 5.9 million
tuns, coal 138 million tons, electricity 19,000 million kwts,
cotton 1.61 million bales. China has already built modern
industrial plants which are capable of producing aero-
planes. motor lorries, steam-engines, ocean-going steamers,
new type lathes, and equipment for mining, electrical
and metallurgical works. In 1958 the Second Five-year
Plan begins. This Plan gives equal emphasis to the
development of industry and agriculture, with priority
to the development of heavy industry. Although concrete
details of the Plan are not yet published, Premier Chou
Eu-lei stated (at the 5th plenary session of the National
People's Congress on February 10, 1958) that within a
period of 15 years or a little longer, China will catch up
or overtake Engand in the output of steel and other
important industrial products. From this the magnitude
and scale of the new Plan can be visualized. In order
to develop her industry China still needs to import
metals, mechanical instruments, industrial raw materials
such is rubber, cotton, hemp, tobacco, copra. coconut-oil
etc. In order to raise the yield of grain and other agricul-
tural products, it is also necessary to import fairly large
quantities of chemical fertilizer (not long ago, the China
National Import and Export Corporation purchased 0.5
million tons of this from Japan), and other chemicals
for agricultural use which China cannot produce at
present or cannot produce in sufficient quantities to meet
the demands of the peasants. A number of new farm
implements and other machinery must also be imported,
and consumer goods such as sundries and daily necessities
to meet the people's demands for sugar, medical supplies,
vv'nlches etc.
On the basis of industrial and agricultural develop-
ment, China can also supply Afro-Asian countries with
more minerals, agricultural and industrial products, and
chemical raw materials. These categories cover coal,
iron-ore, magnesium, rice, soya-beans, cotton-yarn, cloth,
cement, paper, steel products, wire, nails, glass, tire,
motor lorries, caustic soda, and soda ash. China can also
supply machinery and complete sets of equipment for
light industry.
The demand of Afro-Asian countries for economic
independence, and the movement to strengthen their
trade relation, are still developing. On December 26, 1957
delegates from about 50 Afro-Asian countries and re-
gions met in Cairo for the Afro-Asian People's Solidarity
Conference. The Conference passed a decision on econ-

omic problems, pointed out that Afro-Asian countries
should strengthen co-operation to develop their economy,
proposed that they should study and investigate possibil-
ities that might lead to better trade relations, and xvorked
out more convenient ways of payment so that Afro-Asian
countries could. on the basic of equality and mutal bene-
fit. further develop trade and create benficial conditions
for strengthening economic co-operation.
Based on the above conditions, the Chinese people
believe that in 1958 the prospects of trade relations with
Afro-Asian countries are good. The facts enumerated
below will fully prove this view.
In January this Year, When M. al-Bach, Crown Prince
of the Yemen, visited China, a commercial treaty was
signed between the People's Republic of China and the
I\Iutnwakilvah Kingdom of the Yemen. The Chinese
Government agreed to give the Yemeni Government a
trust loan of 711 million Swiss francs without interest as
pa>-mcnt on various goods supplied to the Yemen by
China.
There are some who say that since the latter half
of 1957 industrial production in capitalist countries has
declined. exports decreased. commodity prices have fal-
len and an economic recession has set in. They fear
that this economic clip in capitalist countries will affect
the Alto-Asian countries, and that their trade with China
will also suffer a decrease in 1958. We consider this kind
of worry groundless. as our counti'v is carrying on large-
scale economic construction and is therefore capable of
further developing trade with Afro-Asian countries. China
has conducted trade on a barter basis with several coun-
tries. thus eliminating any difficulties that may arise
from the lack of foreign exchange. Afro-Asian countries
have rich resources, but because they have a shortage
of foreign exchange. the opportunity of carrying on
trade with China through barter is welcomed. On
January it. 1958. deputy Premier U Kyaw Nyein of Burma
told reporters. "The method of exchanging goods for
goods with China is based on equality and mutual bene-
fit, and we don't suffer from it. For instance, we can
purchase anything we need from China, so our imports
from her are very large . . . ." As this form of exchange
is based on equality and mutual benefit. it is warmly
welcomed by Afro-Asian countries. We can therefore
strengthen this form of trade. In this way, the economic
decline of capitalist countries will not diminish trade
between China and Afro-Asian countries: on the con-
trary, it will strengthen it.
To sum up. China will do everything to further her
relations with Afro-Asian countries and strengthen trade
relations with them. Today there is no force in the world
that can hinder the strengthening of these ties.
China's Present and Future Trade
With Nordic Countries
Daring; the past two years. China's trade with the
Nordic countries has been developing successfully. Rough-
ly speaking. it is estimated that the volume of trade in
1956 was 49 percent over that in 1955. In 1957 there was
a further increase of 62 percent over 1936. Of the Nordic
countries. China's trade with Denmark. Sweden and
Finland has alretcly surpassed the highest peak in
history. while trade with Norway too has conspicuously
increased.
\V'ith the rapid growth of China's trade with the
Nordic countries, the variety of merchandise exchanged
has also constantly increased. China not only imports
huge quantities of traditional items like Finland. Sweden.
and Norwegian paper and Danish agricultural chemicals.
hill also purchases quite a number of commodities which
never before appeared on her import lists-ships. complete
equipment for papernills, copper. and synthetic fibres
from Finland. core-drilling machines, seamless tubes, and
High-grade steel from Sweden, refrigerating equipment
and chemical fertilizers from Denmark, acetates urea
fertilizers from Norway. Among these commodities some
belong to the so-called -'embargo" list.

On the other hand, following the rapid development
of China's industry and agriculture, China is in a better
position to export various kinds of silks and satins, cot-
ton goods, sewing machines, fountain-pens, thereto-flasks,
handkerchiefs, napkins. towels and chemical raw ma-
terials. China's canned fruit have already drawn fawoura-

ble comments from customers in Finland. while shirts
made in China have won the praise of buyers in Norway.
The development of China's trade with the Nordic
0x1111ries during the last two years is also reflected in
the frequent exchange of visits of businessmen. It is
well known that in 1954 and 1955 both Sweden and Den-
markk sent business delegations to visit China, and an
appreciable anxnmt of trade resulted from these visits.
In recent Years a steady stream of merchants from the
Nordic countries visited Peking and Shanghai for business
transactions. For example, in 1957 over :30 businessmen
visited China and two government trade delegations
came to Peking for business negotiations. Chinese
visitors to northern Europe included observers from in-
dustrial, metallurgical, forestry, and cooperative groups.
'fhe exchange of these visits not only helped improve
China's trade relations with the Nordic countries, but
also strengthened friendly ties with the people of these
cnunl ties.
Although trade between China and the Nordic coun-
tries has increased a good deal during the last few years.
there are still possibilities for further development. This
can be reflected in China's exports. In 1957 her exports
to the four Nordic countries equalled only 29 percent of
her imports from them. This indicates a great potential
for trade in this direction. As China's industrial and
agricultural production advance in leaps and bounds, the
possibilities for supplying the Nordic countries with a
good variety of raw materials and daily necessities be-
coine greater and greater. For instance, the Nordic coun-
tries annually import large quantities of fresh and canned
fruit, cotton cloth. hides, caustic soda and soda ash. China

can adequately supply these commodities. However. it
is apparent that the possibilities have not been fully
utilized in the past few years, and some Nordic countries.
contrary to our expectations, have placed certain restric-
tions on some of the above-mentioned items. China's
imports. which includes high grade steel, ball bearing.
refrigerating equipment, chemical fertilizers, synthetic
fibres. paper etc. indicate her needs for construction.
In shipping, great potentialities also await further
development.
At present, China has signed trade agreements with
the governments of Sweden and Denmark, and enjoys
with them the "most favoured nation" clause with re-
gard to customs duties and navigation.
A new trade agreement for the year 1957-19511 was
signed between the governments of China and Finland in
December 1957. Negotiations on signing another trade
agreement are also under way between China and
Norway. These facts prove that China's trade relations
with the Nordic countries have reached a new stage.
In line with the spirit of these agreements we believe
that. through the common efforts of the governments and
the trade organizations of the countries concerned, all
man-made obstacles could be cleared away, a better un-
derstanding of one another's needs and supplies reached,
and new items of trade found. More opportunities for
trade representatives to visit each other's countries for
business contacts and exchange of technical problems
and views should be created. In this way trade between
China nad the Nordic countries will certainly enjoy an
increasingly healthy development.

China's Method of Trade Payment with Asian,
African and Western Countries
In old China foreign trade was largely under the
control of foreign companies and banks which were also
arbiters in settling accounts. Chinese-owned companies
and banks could only do a fraction of the business and
were frequently discriminated against be foreign mer-
chants and banks in making payments and seeking credit.
Chinese banks were obliged to accept letters of credit
from foreign banks while they could not issue their own
letters of credit. They could only authorize a purchase
by depositing a security and commissioning a foreign
bank to make payments on their behalf. This practise
resulted in great disadvantages for Chinese merchants.
They were forced to extend credit to foreign importers
but receive no such facilities from the foreign merchants
in return. In other words Chinese importers had to
make payments long in advance of receipt of their goods
and in some cases had to deliver the goods before they
even received payment.
With the founding of the Chinese People's Republic,
China became independent both politically and economi-
cally. Trade and finance are now in the hands of the
Chinese People themselves. Chinese foreign trading com-
panies and banks rank high with foreign merchants.
The unfair conditions of making payments that prevailed
in old China have now been rectified. The method of
payment adopted by New China with Asian. African and
Western countries is based on the principle of equality
and mutual benefit. This method of payment is not only
conducive to the normal development of trade. but is
also an expression of the fundamental principle of
China's relations with foreign countries. We consider
acts of inequality and unilateral interest unacceptable.
For this reason the method of making payments by issu-
ing forms of authority to purchase is now no longer used.
Letters of credit from Chinese banks are now uncondi-
tionally accepted by most of the large banks in Asian,
African and Western countries. At the same time we are
exploring the possibilities of having economically back-
ward countries use the method of making payments
through letters of credit rather than the present method
of forms of authority of purchase.
At present the banks of New China have established
friendly relations, based on the principle of equality and
mutual benefit, with more than 600 large banks in the
Asian, African and Western countries and are doing
business with them to our mutual benefit. The trade
companies of New China are now fully able to carry out
business transactions with foreign companies in good
standing with reciprocal facilities of commercial credits.
During the past eight pears practically all the ac-
ceptable methods of making payments used by various
countries in international trade have been used by New
China in her trade relations with the Asian, African and
Western countries. At present two methods are most
widely used. They are:
1) the use of irrevocable L/C, and
2) the use of documentary bills on collection.
In accordance with the difference in the time and
conditions of payment the first method may be further
divided into the following categories:
A. Letters of Credit with Telegraghic Transfer Reim-
bursment Clause. The Bank on the exporting side
is entitled to claim reimbursement from the issuing
Bank or its designated Paving Agent by cable. For
instanse, when a certain Chinese commodity is ex-
ported to a country in the Sterling area for payment
in Pound Sterling the Chinese Bank may negotiate,
in accordance with stipulations of the Credit claim
reimbursement by cable directly from the issuing
Bank or from the issuing Bank's Paving agent in
London. On the other hand, when a Chinese firm
import a certain commodity from that country on the
same terms, the negotiating Bank of that country may
also claim reimbursement by cable from the Chinese
issuing Bank or from its designated Paying Agent in
London.
B. Leters of Credit Payable at the issuing Bank against
Presentation of Documents.
The negotiating Bank must present documents to the
issing Bank for the latter to make payment. Gen-
earlly such credits expire in the exporters country,
therefore, if the documents are negotiated prior to
the expiry date of the credit, the issuing Bank is
obliged to make the payment even if the documents
reach them after the Credit's date of expiry.
C. Acceptance Credits. Chinese Banks occassionally
issue and honour acceptance Credits in dealing with
countries where discounting facilities are available.
D. Reciprocal Credits. In compensation transactions,
reciprocal Credits are extensively employed. In some
cases one party will open a Credit which will become
effective only upon receipt of a counter-credit from
the other party. In other instances one party will
open a Credit ,vhich becomes effective only upon
receipt of a written promise that a countercredit will
be opened within a certain period.- These credits
vary according to the nature of the transactions in-
volved and to the business relations existing between
the two parties.
E. Leters of Credit with "Payment after arrival and
examination of Goods" Clasuse. Under certain cir-
cumstances China pays for some of then imports
through credits with the above clause, as in the case
of pharmaceutical goods. Even though final payment
under such credit terms takes place later than under
ordinary L'C, the experiences of the past several
years prove that foreign suppliers accept these
credits because of the credit worthiness of the Chi-
nese corporations and batiks. The efficiency of the
China Commdity Inspection and Testing Bureau and
the reliability of its certificates are internationally
recognized.
Manufacturers and merchants are not concerned
with non-payment of goods under such Credits. On the
contrary, since this clause automatically excludes specula-
tive suppliers with doubtful standing from competition
in the China market, these credits are welcomed. There-
fore, to merchants of integrity this sort of payment term
is in the long run quite desirable.
Under the category II Documentary Bills on collec-
tion, the DIP (Documents against Payment) form is more
extensively used with Bills payable on sight or usance
Bills payable 15 to 120 days after sight.
In dealing with a number of old customers with
whom close business connections are maintained, some
Chinese Corporations use the D'A form (Documents ag-
ainst Acceptance) both in import and export, with Bills
payable 15 to 120 days after acceptance.
For certain trial sales, some Chinese Corporations
occasionally employ ship goods on consignment basis to
some designated selling agents abroad.
In those countries with which China has concluded
Payments Agreements, payments are effected under the
the terms stipulated in the Agreements and the Technical
Arrangements made between th People's Bank of China
and the State Banks of the countries concerned. The
letter of credit is the form most commonly used.

by leaps and bounds. Production has been enjoying a
spectacular rise both in quantity and in variety. Taking
the output of canned foods in 1952 as 100, in 1957 it
was 347. As to diversity of varieties, they have multip-
lied from the scarity few kinds of the past in over
200 at present, among which about 100 kinds are in

There now exist in China a number of research wort:
on canned feuds. Besides. every canned toed factory
has its own research and testing laboratories. Technical
experts conduct experiments on new recipes and new
types of canned food, work hard for the improvement :;f
existing products, and give assessment if, tnoir quality.
One particular field of importance is sanitary con-
trol, which is specially taken care of in the factory' by
the management and at the same time rigorously super-
vised by the public health authorities - a double safe-
guard. Every food packing factory has resident tech-
nicians representing and detailed by The China Com-
modity Inspection and Testing Bureau for the systematic
examination of export canned foods --- rill the 'i e,: fri;m
ra',v materials and semifinished prndii,c!s to tini,hed

as follows:

areas and must undergo strict antemortero and p ist.nnr

ables must be carefully selected, sufficiently ripe, normal
in colour and free from worms, and funguses. They
must be washed adaquately clean.

2. Inspection on semi-finished products: During
this stage of production, special attention is paid to the
sanitary conditions of the factory including personal
hygiene of the workers, the washing and sterilization of
utensils used for processing, the environmental sanita-
tion during the processing, thorough washing of the
materials and to checking the condiments used in the
food to make sure that they meet the health standards.
Care is also taken to adopt the technical specifications
of the food contents to the requirements and tastes of
the overseas customers (e.g. the size and shape of cut-
tings: clean removal of fruit stone, pips and pedicles
removed, neat trimming of meats,, etc.).
3. Inspection on finished products: Finished pro-
ducts are required to be first stored in hot room for a
specified length of time and then sampled for inspection.
The resident examiners at the factory detailed by the
China Commodity Inspection and Testing Bureau take
samplings for examination from the output of each
working shift or each potful of food preparations. This
method has yielded very good results because it covers
a wide representation. After sampling tests sensory tests
are made for colour, flavor and taste. Besides the sugar
content, acidity, salt content, weight. of total solids, net
weight of contents, etc., are checked, using different
standards for different kinds of food. Among the san-
itary controls are two important series of examination
- a check against metallic impurities in the contents of
canned foods and another against pathogenic bacteria-
carried out according to the standards for export in-
spection set by the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

Under the unremitting efforts of the management of
factories to safeguard and improve the quality of their
goods and protected by the searching examination of
the China Commodity Inspection and Testing Bureau
made before exportation, Chinese canning products are
assured of quality and dependability in hygienic stand-
ards. They consequently enjoy mounting sales in many
countries in Asia, East Europe, Southeast Asia, West
Europe, North Africa and the Middle and Near East.
To satisfy the requirements of consumers Chinese
food packing factories are producing more varieties of
canned meats, fruits and vegetables in many different
flavors in accord with the varied tastes of the peoples
of various countries.

Wire Drawing Machine
The type of wire drawing machine now available for
export from China is designed for drawing steel wire.
It also gives normal performance when working with
metals softer than steel, such as copper, but if hard, highly-
resilient steel wire, or alluminium wire, is drawn, the
power of the electric motor used should be increased in
proportion to the extra degree of hardness of the material
employed.
This machine has the following major parts: machine
stand; blocks; die chambers; brakes; safety lever; water
cooling device; lubrication system; wire release frame;
hoist rack.

This machine gives a very fine performance. Its opera-
tion is simple and easy, even for an unskilled operative.
A brief account of the mechanism is as follows:
1. Block revolutions: All blocks are individually
driven by the motor through worm gear; for Model D5C,
when driven by a single motor, clutch transmission is added.
2. Block speed: Since the wire drawn in each block
becomes increasingly smaller in gauge and longer in length
as it passes from one block to the next, the blocks are
designed to turn at different speeds so that each rotates
at a 301 faster rate than the preceding number. For in-
stance, if the speed of block No. 1 is 100r.p.m., that of No.2
will be 130r.p.m. and of No.3 169 r.p.m. and go on. This
enables the wire weight or all blocks to equalize and pre-
vents any one block from interfering with the performance
of other blocks.
3. Die chamber and wire guide: The dies in the die
chambers have their eyes aligned exactly in a straight line
with the drawing points on the blocks, thus ensuring per-
fect workmanship of the product. A wire guide is fitted
between every two blocks for easy control of wire tension.
4. Winding and hoisting: Blocks are designed in a
slightly tapering form with the smaller end up, the degree
of tapering being determined by the drawing speed. This
enables the wires to wind in even, parallel rounds from
bottom up without running into disorder. The endmost
block is equipped with a wire release frame, and to a hoist
rack, which, when enough wire has accumulated on the
block, lifts up the wire coil from the release frame and
shifts it to the swift frame, which holds the finished wire.
5. Cooling system: To prevent overheating of the dies
through friction during sustained high tension drawing,
and to prolong the operational life of the dies and increase
efficiency, a water cooling system is provided for the die
chamber of each block.
6. Safety lever: To afford maximum safety. A safety
lever is installed in front of the machinestand, in addition
to the regular brakes. It can be readily pushed down for
quick stoppage of machine motion in an emergency.
Carefully designed and studily built, this machine
posseses many outstanding features. Running is quiet and
smooth-with a minimum of vibration and noise; operation
is simple and easy; motions of the blocks are accurately
co-ordinated; each mechanical part is built of the proper
grade of steel correctly heat-tempered according to re-
quirment, assuring durability and sturdiness; adequate
protection is provided by a quick-acting, new-type device,
the safty lever.
This machine also has great adaptability to varying
working requirements and conditions. Each block is a
self-contained unit driven by its own motor or through
shaft and clutch transmission; when desired, a block can
be removed from the machine or additional blocks added
thereto up to an overall number of 7 units; the machine is
capable of drawing wires of metals other than ordinary
steel; and revolution speed can be stepped up for heavier
loads just by enlarging the size of motor employed.
Accessory tools and equipment:
Wire stand: A frame for holding coiled raw wirel
revolving according to drawing speed.
Chain tongs: Fcr gripping free end of raw wire coil
to lead it into the die and block hole at start of
drawing operation.
Wire release spider: A steel frame on the finishing
block with 4 collapsible legs.
Hoist rack: Lifts up finished wire coils from the re-
lease frame and removes them to the swift frame.
Swiftstand: Receives finished wire from the release
frame through the hoisting apparatus.
Dies: Fitted on each block. Diameter of eye must
conform to the size of wire under operation in the
particular block as well as to the working stage of
the block. For instance, if the end product desired
is BWG 20 wire, the dies on the finishing (5th)
block will bear eyes of 20 diameter, and for the
preceding (4th) block, which revolves at 30%
slower speed; Die-eyes must be enlarged in pro-
portion to the difference in revolution speed.
Auxilliary equipment:
Wire furbishing machine; wire-end cutter; butt
stamping machine; butt welding machine; die
grinding machine. These articles are particularly
needed in new plants.

Crank System High Speed Fully Automatic
Nail Making Machine
This automatic machine has four major component-
dies, cutters, a punch header and a wire guide. All are
fitted on a four-legged steel frame, to which a motor stand
is attached at the back. An electric motor drives the main
shaft, which by means of a bevel gear turns a pair of se-
condary shafts and transmission rod. The rod controls the
wire guide, which directs the raw wire through the wire
wheel and feeds it into the die. Two secondary shafts on
the left and right actuate the cutters. The left shaft also
governs the continuous opening and closing operations of
the dies. It stamps out the lines on the nail and is syn-
chronized with the punching movement of the header. By
means of a connecting rod which transmits the motion of
the main shaft. the header moves back and forth striking
at the wire top to form the nail head.
Because all main parts are precision-built, the machine
can work at high speed with great efficiency. Vibration

 Art Candles
for Gala Occasions
For gala occasions-birthdays, wed-
dings or holiday celebrations, nothing
can add such grace, magnificence, such
a touch of the exotic, as a pair of
glowing Chinese art candles beautifully
decorated with meaningful figures in
low relief. In China, the colorful em-
bossed art candle is an inseparable
feature of the marriage rite. For all
product so lovely as the Chinese em-
felicitous moments of life, an art craft
bossed candle can add to the atmosph-
ere of joy and gaiety.
Chinese art candles are made in se-
veral different shapes - the round,
square, and hexagonal. They usually
taper down gradually from the top to
the base. The embossed designs consist
of words of felicity or raised figures
representing traditional Chinese ideas
of blessing. Dragons and phoenixes
signify harmony and happiness in
matrimony. Flower vases symbolize
good fortune. Gourds augur good
fortune and children. In all, the Chi-
nese embossed candle is a meaningful
ornament for all occasions of jubilation,
and it also makes impressive gift at
such times.
The embossed art candle is made in
many colours. The material is the
famous Szechwan white tallow (scale-
insect wax) which is sufficiently hard
not to melt even in the hottest summer
temperatures.

County in Hopei Province and of Chino, Tsimo and Laiyang Counties in Shang-
tung Province. They come in lump form and in white, grey, pink or yellowish
brown colour. and are divided into four grades according to the richness of
their barium sulphate content-those containing 90",, of BaSO4 or more; 93"
or more; 95''; or more; and 97'; or more.
Heavy spar. or barite. is important as a raw material in the chemical
industry for the manufacture of barium compounds and salts such as barium-
base titarox, barium chloride, blane fixe, barium carbonate, barium nitrate,
barium oxide, barium suluhide, barium hydroxide, etc. These chemicals are
extensively used in industry in making rubber articles, paints, wire-insulations,
paper, pigments, pharmaceuticals glass, dynamite and printing inks. They
arc also used in tempering metals and oil prospecting (drilling). By virtue
of its superior quality and wide uses, the Chinese barite has been finding much
favour with the industrial users both at home and abroad.
For export. Chinese heavy spar is shipped in bulk or in straw sacks of 60,
62.5 or 100 kg each net.
Barium chloride is the main che-
mical material for making paper.
Pulp made of Baryte mixed
with other materials is being
used for drilling

 THE MARBLE
A Building Material of Unexcelled Magnificence
Nature has endowed China with rich deposits of marble.
It occurs in many varieties and many localities. The chief
quarries are in Tali County, Yunnan Province, in Fang-
shan. Huolu, Chiiyang and Shunyi Counties in Hopei Pro-
vince, Soochow and Wusih in Kiangsu Province, and in
Liaoning Province. The Chinese marble presents a multi-
farious range of patterns and varieties, of which the fol-
lowing are now exported:
(1) Han Bay Y, (2) Ei.Ie Qing, (3) Lai Jang Ly,
(4) Mo Y, (5) Dou Ban, (6) Dung Bai Hung, (7) Dung
Bai Ly, (8) Wan Xia, (9) Qy Jang Y, (10) to Si Zhuan,
(11) Yuri Chai, (12) Hung Po Wen, (13) Tao Hung, (14)
Jang Ping Ly, (15) Qy Tang Ly, (16) Mei Kwei, (17)
Hsueh Hwa, (18) Dou Qing.
The marble is exported in three forms: Quarried
Blocks; Slabs; Marble Chips.
Quarried Blocks make a de luxe building material dis-
tinguished for its unexcelled beauty, great strength,
durability, and artistic appeal. They have rectangular,
evenly cut sides, with dimensions reaching 2 metres in
length. Used for centries in the adornment of the magni-
ficent Chinese Imperial Palaces, they also grace many
new public buildings constructed. Experts affirm that the
snow-white alabaster commonly known as Han Bay
Y and profusely used in classical architecture, can
withstand weather exposure for 2000 years without
appreciable erosion. The ornamental and monumental
marble structures in the palaces and other historical spots,
of Peking (for example the carved marble bridges and
balustrades in front of Tien An Men) have defied the
ravages of time and weather for centuries and are still
Quarrying marble
in very good conditon. No wonder the beautiful, fine-
textured Han Bay Y merits is so prized by architects.
Marble Slabs have flat, smooth surfaces and straight,
evenly cut edges. Some are of plain snow-white alabaster;
some bear picturesque natural patterns suggesting flowers
fleecy clouds, etc. Among the varieties, The Dung Bai
Hung, Dung Bai Ly, Zi Dou Ban and Wan Xia are par-
ticularly rich in figures.
Like the blocks, the slabs are an elegant building
material offering superb qualities of, lasting strength,
and magnificence. They also make attractive and durable
furniture tops.
Marble is not only invaluable in. In art, it is an
ideal stone for sculpture. In induustry, it is a fine material
for making electrical insulators.
Marble Chips are sold in 3 sizes: 0.8 - 1.5 cm pieces,
1.0-2.0 cm pieces; and pieces smaller than 0.8 cm (also
called Marble Grains). They are available in many colours
and are the chief material for making terrazzo, so widely
used in modern architecture for its beauty, economy,
durability and cleanliness. For terrazzo-work that adorns
the floors of modern halls, bathrooms, theaters, etc., or
makes attractive wainscotings, staircases, verandahs.... .
Chinese warble chips are excellent.
Packing: Quarried Blocks are shipped without pack-
ing; Slabs are packed in wooden crates. Chips come in
gunny bags or straw bags.
Inquiries or orders from the building and electrical
industries and the sculptural profession are welcome.

The Oolong Tea
Pride of Fukien Production
With its benign climate, bountiful rainfall, fertile soil,
mountainous terrain, and moist, misty atmosphere, Fukien
Province is one of China's most important tea producing
regions. Of all classes of tea produced in this tea-growing
province, the farfamed oolong is one of extraordinary ex-
cellence. It has a pronounced flavour and mellow, full
taste. For many decades Fukienese oolong has had a high
reputation and commanded assured sales on the world
market. In recent years, many steps have been taken for
the development and improvement of production in this
famous tea-growing area. These have included the reor-
ganization and rehabilitation of existing plantations and
opening up of new ones, cultivation of superior species,
scientific plucking, weeding and fertilization, and other
forms of technical care. Inaddition, modern, well-equipped
processing plants have been built at producing centers. and
specifications for packing standardized. As a result the
oolong has attained a new height in quality.
The oolong is a semi-fermented tea. The different
stages involved in its preparation are: plucking. witherin;;,
softening, screening (by stirring and tossing), fermenting,
firing (roasting in metal pans through continuous stirring).
airing, rolling, re-roasting (fcr removal of residual
moisture), and sorting. When ready, the leaves are green
colored at the center and red on the edges, and are termed
in the trade "Red-fringed Green Leaves".
The principal varieties of oolong tea are as follows:
Those grown in souther Fukien with Anhsi County Si
centre: the Iron Kiian Yin (Goddess of Mercy), Chilan,
Meichan oolong, and Bergamot. Of these the first-named
is the finest; its leaves have a silky surface, curled, spiral
form, and heavy, plump, thick body of dark green color.
When drawn with boiling water, it yields a liquor of
clear golden color and pleasing fragrance and flavor. A
sip of the tea gives an immediate agreeable bitterish tast('.
vl-.ich, to the delight of the palate, soon turns into a pro-
longed pleasurable aftertaste: The Iron Kuan Yin can
endure many drawings (refilling the teapot with boiling
water) before losing its flavor and taste.
Among those grown in northern Fukien the Jonquil
("Sui Hsicn") of Nanyakou, Chien 0 County, and the Bock
Tea of Tsungan County are the best. Both have curly, shri-
velled leaves with heavy veins Ratio of Red-fringed Green
Leaves is relatively small. The three named yield an infu-
sion of golden color, rich fragrance and full mellow flavour.
Commonly called Wuyi Tea, Rock Tea is the prized produc-
tion of the picturesque Wuyi Mountains, seven miles south
of the seat of Tsungan County. Rock Tea is a tea of
remarkable excellence and flavor, and comprises two sub-
divisions, the Rock Tea which grows on the mountain
slopes and the Beach Tea which thrives along the little
mountain streams. The former, due to its rarity and sup-
reme quality-marvellous taste, fragrance that permeates
the surrounding air, glossy leaves-is the crowning perfec-
tion of the entire oolong family. Some of the most prized
grades bear the special trade names: "Scarlet Robe", "White
Coronet" and "Iron Buddha" These are the most perfect
selected from the finest leaves gathered from thousands of
Rock-tea bushes. They are processed with infinite care.
Another category is the Scented Oolong which is pre-
pared from superior quality oolong scented with fragrant
flowers, of which the species commonly used are bay,
jasmin, gardenia and magnolia. Of these, each has its
distinctive fragrance, although the bay-scented tea
surpasses ther others in strength and body. Scented
Oolong adds flower frgrance to the natural flavor of the
tea, and is therefore especially refreshing and pleasing
to the taste.
Plucking time for fresh oolong is around April 5 the
Calendric Node of Ching Ming), when new, tender leaves
begin to sprout from the twigs. Plucking starts when the
sprouts bear three leaves each. Fresh pluckings are spread
for a certain length of time on a screen for withering, a
process aimed at removing moisture through exposure to
the air. At the end of this stage the leaves lose the tree-
green smell and begin to yield the pleasing fragrance of
the tea. Next follow the stages of softening and fermenting,
through which the leaves take on a fringe of scarlet at
their edges and improve in fragrance. Rolling (kneading)
makes the leaves curl, and is started while they are still
hot after leaving the roasting pan. And finally the tea is
Approved For Release 2008/11/25: CIA-RDP80T00246AO05700280003-6
 in wooden cases or tin (the metal, not tinplate) container.
Packings in attractively designed tinplate containers are
also available. The most prized varieties have their special
title and place of origin printed on the containers, such
as the "Scarlet Robe" of Wuyl County's Tienhsing Rock,
the "White Coronet" and "Iron Buddha" of Huiyuan Rock,
and "Golden Water Turtle" of Lanku (Orchid Valley)
Rock of the same county, and the "Iron Kuan Yin" of
Anhsi County's South Rock, etc.
For perfect enjoyment of oolong tea, it should be drunk
as infused, without the addition of sugar, milk or other
things. For drawing, put a proper amount of tea into the
pot after warming it with hot water, infuse with boiling
water, and the tea will be ready for drinking in about three
minutes. Tea lovers enjoy fine teas not only for their
stimulating, refreshing and thirst-relieving effect, but more
particularly for their three famous characteristics color,
aroma and flavour, Due to its unexcelled character and
delightful aftertaste, oolong tea, especially its finer grades,
certainly justifies the appreciation of the most exacting
connoisseurs as well as the vast drinking public.

The Far-Famed Antung Pongees
Antung, a city in the north-eastern part of China, ap-
pears at its most picturesque in the autun.n when the
Cheng Kiang Hill on its outs;:irts is entirely submerged in
a sea of foliage with the Yalu River encircling it like a
huge dragon This is where the world famous Antung
Tussah Pongees are produced.
Antung is the center of the tussah silk textile in-
dustry of Liaoning province, in which it is situated pro-
vides ideal rearing grounds for the wild silk-worm. Its
climate is very suitable for the silkworm and its rugged
mountain ranges are covered with wide stretches of oak
forests. These favourable conditions account for the fact
that Liaoning Province now produces 70%of China's total
tussah silk output.
In Liaoning, the tussah silkworms are usually reared
both in spring and autumn. The autumn crop is the more
Approved For Release 2008/11/25: CIA-RDP80T00246AO05700280003-6
abundant. This begins in July after the mating of the
moths which have emerged from the cocoons reserved
for breeding. The fertilized female moths are then brought
outdoors on leaves of old oak trees to lay their eggs.
When the eggs subsequently hatch out into tiny larvae
they are carried carefully to the young oak trees to be
fed on fresh, tender leaves. Under normal climatic con-
ditions, the larvae grow very rapidly and after 30 days or so,
the worms become matured. The matured worms are then
carried back and placed on the leaves of the old oak trees
to provide them with snug and cosy spots where they
begin to spin their own cocoons. The end of September
or the beginning of Octcber, gold and brown cocoons are
suspended here and there from the gray leaves and twigs
of the oak trees. This is the time for gathering a good
silk cocoon crop.

Tussah pongee, a fabric woven
from tussah silk, is extraordinarily
strong and durable. It is an ideal
dress material for summer because
its ready ability to absorb and diffuse
moisture makes the wearer feel cool
and refreshed. On account of its
soft structure and fluffy surface,
tussah pongee is also good for mak-
ing autumn and winter clothing.
Heavy fabrics woven from tussah
silk which are smooth to the touch
and have plenty of give are praised
by good tailors as ideal materials for
making mens' and womens' overcoats,
For instance, Article No. 2004 is a
fabric woven from dyed tussah silk
of 8 ply and 35 denier, by mixing
with fancy yarns, it has many counts
and complex twists. It is highly
elastic and heat diffusing. Since the
stripes are indistinct and it has a
brilliant lustre, the surface of this
fabric is very pleasant to the eye.
Article No. 3011, Snubbed Pongee, is
a fabric woven from tussah silk of
35denier with fine, dense warps and
loose, coarse wefts. Irregular snubs
are scattered on its surface unevenly.
This fabric possesses a soft lustre and
loveliness that seems to say-natural
beauty.
Doubling of silk yarn is an important stage in silk weaving
Tussah Fuji Silk woven from spun tussah silk yarns has
a lustrous, neat and even surface. It is soft to the touch
and comfortable to wear. Under this category, Article No.
35407 should be mentioned. On its even surface there are
checked composition. with lines going vertically and hori-
zontally. Article No. 35209 which is called Pearl Lusetr
Tussah Serge is a heavy pongee of twill weave with lines
in the same colour as the background. Its structure is so
compact and elastic that people often choose it as a superior
material for making overcoats.
In the past few years Antung pongees are being used
for many new articles of wear or furnishing. Improve-
ments in technique that overcome most of the existing
dyeing and printing difficulties, have also produced nu-
merous new shades and designs suited to both Oriental and
Occidental tastes. These superior qualities of Antung
Pongees have made them popular among both domestic and
foreign users ever since they first appeared on the market.
More and more visitors to China are making it a habit to
take to their dear ones some Antung pongees back as a
present which their relations and friends will surely ap-
preciate. When Mr. Nehru, Premier of India and U Nu,
Premier of Burma saw Antung pongees both accorded
them high praise.

The Last Word in Fine Needlework
Shanghai Venice
Shanghai Venice is one of China's finest and most ex-
quisite types of needlework. The art was first introduced
into Shanghai from the West in the closing years of the
19th Century, but soon spread from Shanghai to other
places. Over the years it has been improved and reached
new levels of excellence. New patterns have been created
in great variety, the technique of embroidery has been
improved and the quality of the articles made improved
in every way. The original features of the art. have been
retained but it has been enriched with the artistic motifs
of the Orient.
For many years now Shanghai Venice has found great
favour with foreign buyers in the international market,
and more and more of it is being sold. Its popularity is
due to its quality and this is mainly attributable to the
unexcelled skill and experience of Chinese women in the
art of embroidery.
World famous for over a hundred years. Chinese em-
broidery is distinguished for its exquisite needlework and
artistic grace, particularly the vivid and lively expressi
veness of its pictures, whether they treat of living beings
or things (flowers, birds, animals, fish, insects, portraits)
or natural scenery.
Since the founding of Chinese People's Republic, a
great deal of effort has been expended to increase the
amount of articles made and their quality, as well as to
enlarge the diversity of designs and varieties in order to
suit foreign requirements and serve overseas buyers better.
One of the most noteworthy steps taken to bring this
about has been the organizing of the craftsmen through
out the trade into co-operatives. This has ensured a higher
general standard of porduction.
Shanghai Venice is embroidered with mercerized cotton
threads coloured in ecru and white, on cotton fabric or
linen through a paper design. It is the result of pain-
staking and highly skilled handwork intricate and time-
consuming. Two workdays are required to make a piece
as small as a 6-inch saucer doily, if done by a single hand
a large tablecloth set, takes more than a year to complete.
A precious craft indeed!
Venice work is divided into three kinds: the heavy,
the medium, and the light. All are elegant, durable and
exquisite.
Shanghai Venice comes in a wide range of types and
sizes. There are bridge-table covers, tea sets, lunch sets
and dinner sets. Other articles to match: Venice fringed
linen napkins, exquisite saucer and plate doilies, etc. Also,
bedroom sets, bedspreads, dressing table covers, cocktail
sets, chair covers, etc. These articles, beautifully designed
yet inexpensive, add charm and elegance to the modern
home wherever they are used. They are only offer decora-
tive and beautiful in themselves, but also serviceability.
For example, the table covers and plate doilies serve to
protect table tops from the heat of hot dishes and scratches.
The distinctive features of the Shanghai Venice have made
it only only a popular possession in the modern home, but
also a welcome gift worthy of all occasions.

It is made from three kinds of wool-cashmere, sheep
wool (first-class Chinese-produced merino, 64s-70s. and
Australian goat wool), and mixed Angora Fur and sheep
wool.
Cashmere is a product for which China is famous and
of which she is the biggest producer in the world. It is a

Among our new products, mention must
be made of Angora fur sweaters (and other
garments) made from the wool of the
Angora rabbit mixed with sheep's wool.
The fibers are long, fine, extremely soft and
smooth. Such sweaters combine great com-

FROZEN PRAWNS Combine Deliciousness with Freshness
Prawns are a favourite dinner dish. China now exports
frozen prawns in quantity. Processing enterpises pay
special attention to preserving their freshness by modern
refrigeration techniques, careful screening ensures that
only the best grades of prawns are sold. Because of this
there is hardly any difference in taste and freshness
between our frozen prawns and those fresh-caught from
the sea. As compared to the common lobster, many peo-
ple think prawns are a much more delicious food. The
warm reception given to Chinese Frozenprawn by buyers
and consumers in Japan, West Germany, and the British
Isles are evidence of their good quality.
The prawn thrives and is plentiful in almost every
part of China's territorial waters, especially in the Pohai
(Chihli) Gulf and the Yellow Sea Major producing areas
are the waters off Tangku (Tientsin), Peitang, Nanpao,
Changli and Chingwantao in Hopei Province; Dairen,
Hsincheng, Suichung and Panshan in Liaoning Province:
Yangchiakou, Penglai. Tsingtao, Chefoo, Yangchiaokou and
Stone Island in Shantung Province. Prawns mature in
the spring and autumn. It is in these two seasons, that
they are at the Zenith of their maturing. At this time
of the year they attain full growth. The plump, body
yields a meat that is both firm and tender Export prawns
are selected from the best grades, and come largely from
the spring haul. These fine quality, Chinese prawns are
gaining widespread popularity in foreign markets.
Guided and helped in every way by their government,
Chinese fishermen have organized themselves into co-
operatives, They live far better than before and their
fishery tasks and technigues have been improved greatly.
As a result, the haul of prawns has risen with each year.
For 1957 it is estimated at 30,000 metric tons, five times as
much as in the best pre-liberation year. The volume of
export, in response to larger foreign demand following on
the rise in domestic production, has also shown steady gains
each year. Taking the export in 1954 as 100, we have an
index of 142 for 1955, 365 for 1956, and a over 700 in 1957.
The Chinese National Foodstuffs Export Corp. lays
great emphasis to the modernization of processing and re-
frigeration as regard both equipment and technique. The
great achievements of new China in industrialization make
this possible. In the past few years, a number of new
processing factories for aquatic products have been built,
while existing ones have been expanded, at various centers
along China's coast. The modern, well-equipped prawn

a volatile oil of very strong aroma and clear or light
yellowish colour. This is the aniseed oil of commerce-an
essential oil containing some 85-90" of anethole and a
number of other chemical constituents such as anisic
aldehyde, anisic acid and pinene.

for a kind of edible fungus that surpasses the common
mushroom in flavour and delicacy. It is an important and
widely used ingredient in the Chinese cuisine. Contributing
in large measure its tastiness whether the dish is vegetable
or meat whether the occasion is an everyday family meal
or a ceremonial banguet the addition of a few Savoury
Mushrooms will always make the food delightfully pala-
table and interesting. In spite of its rich flavour, the
Savoury Mushroom is a non-greasy food with appetizing
effect. You will never tire of eating it. It is one of the
secrets of China's admirable culinary art.
The Savoury Mushroom is a tender, fleshy fungus of
which the best grades are produced in Fukien Province.
Commercially, it is classified into two varieties according
to season of grcwth; The Winter Mushroom, and The Spring
Mushroom. The former is the best, it is dark brown in
colour, has thick flesh and close-knit gills, The latter has
a yellowish colour and thin flesh. Although not quite up
to the winter variety in quality, its flavor is tasty and
strong, and it is, lower priced.
To satisfy the demands of foreign buyers and to ensure
the preservation of quality in transit or storage, special
is packed in dry, odorless pine wood boxes wrapped with
gunny cloth and lined inside with three layers of kraft
paper and one of moisture-proof paper, cushioned with
bamboo leaves.

Sophora Japonica Buds
A Versatile Low-cost Industrial Material
The Sophora Japonica is a tree of the Fabaceous family growing abundantly in
China. Principal use of the seeds is for the extraction of Rutin, an important medicine
for the treatment of arteriosclerosis and hypertension of blood pressure. In countries
where no Sophora Japonica is grown, Rutin used to be extracted from buckwheat or
veins of tobacco leaves, but these sources yield only about 1% of Rutin, whereas the
Sophora Japonica seed yields as much as 10% and more.
The seed of Sophora Japonica also contains a xanthogenic base which yields a
dyestuff capable of dyeing a variety (chiefly yellow) of colours, depending on the
mordant used. These colours include bright yellow, greenish yellow, ivory, dark
brown, golden yellow, black and various shades of green. As is confirmed by tests,
the colour of materials such as silk, wool, cotton, and flax dyed with extractions from
the Sophora Japonica seeds are as fast and as strong as those dyed with any other
chemical dyestuff. The dye also has the advantages of simple application and low cost.

16 inches Oscillating Desk Fan
In homes and public places in tropical Southeast Asia
and North Africa, electric fans are indispensable. Our
new Model 57-AD 16-inches (400 mm) oscillating desk fan
is the latest product of the Watson Electric Works, a lead-
ing Shanghai fan manufacturer for 40 years'. It is the
crystallization of Watson's long years of technical ex-
perience combined with the suggestions from users at
home and abroad--a truly crowning advance in structure,
performance, and appearance. It retains all traditional
merits of the famed Watson fans-quietness and smooth-
ness of operation, sturdy build, long life, low power con-
sumption, adjustable speed and powerful windstream, In
addition, it has the following new features:
1. Oil-filled bearings. Bearings are power-prossed
from metal grains and are minutely porous. The oil-filled
pores keep a film of oil at all time between the bearing
and axle and automatically lubricate the moving parts.
No more oil leaks. No need to oil frequently.
2. Enlarged range of oscillation Ordinary fans cnly
oscillate at a 90 range, and therefore cool only a limited
area. Now by means of a special new device ovhich adds
an extra range of 90' to the original 90', the overall oscil-
lating angle is extended to 180'.
3. Easy fixing of position. All that is necessary when
fixed fanning position is desired, is to screw the oscillation
knob tight in the direction indicated. The fan then trains
its windstrenin in a fixed direction. It cannot be shaken
loose by any shock or push.
4. Two-in-one service. The desk fan may be easily
converted into a wall fan b,y removing the three-piece
base plate, then installing it on the wall.
5. Low running temperature. Due to its excellant
dsign, the fan can run continuously without overheating,
for as long as 24 hours. The surface temperature of the
motor housing does not rise to more than 15'C above that
of the room, even during prolonged runs.

GOLDFISH
Goldfish were first bred in China some 1000 years ago from the closely-
allied silver carp around the scenic lake-side city of Hangchow. During the
Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the art progressed further, and the domesti-
cated fish began to be raised in large earthen bowls instead of ponds.
Long periods of artificial culture and, cross-breeding have produced a
great diversity of species, each with its own physical peculiarities. Many of
these varieties are highly prized for their'novelty or rarity. Today we have
the lovely Dragon-Eye, distinguished for its long sweeping tail and big bulg-
ing eyes, or the Pompon-Hooded Dragon-Eye which wears a fringe of pompon-
like growths on its head. The Pearl Fish is scaled with pearl-like beads all
over its body. The Twintail, Sky-gazer and Water Bubble Eye are among
other fine varieties. In colour, goldfish range over a gorgeous array of red,
blue, black, purple, mottled, white and variegated hues.
An aquarium or two of these attractive little creatures, swimming lei-
surely or frisking about amid the green pond-weed in the crystal-clear water,
adds charm and entertainment to any home. Many beautiful goldfish are on
our export list. Inquiries from interested foreign fanciers or dealers are wel-
comed by China National Native Produce Export Corporation, 46, Hu Fang
Chiao Street, Peking.
