Far removed from Sinkiang, where the Russians admittedly have special exploitation
rights, Soviet experts now make plans for developing newly discovered Yunnan
mineral deposits, while Soviet-controlled *Ankang* installs Russian equipment and
USSR-trained technicians in a new seamless steel tubing factory. New efforts of
Russian advisers to utilize low-grade coal underscore the fact China's industry and
war potential must be developed without material aid from the USSR. Russian-language
teaching is stepped up, especially among teachers and cadres, who must study Soviet
documents, undergo extensive indoctrination courses, install Russian educational
procedures, and reorganize technical schools along Soviet lines. Chinese leaders
maintain an illusion of self-determination by pointing out that works of Mao and
Kuo Mo-jo are being translated into Russian.
"Ankang" utilizes thousands of women workers, some being trained as technicians.
Reports of woolen uniforms being made for the Chinese People's Volunteers and new
moves to extract contributions from workers to finance the Korean war suggest that
an armistice in Korea may not be near.
Arrests of counterrevolutionaries in Shanghai reveal numerous other arrests made
months ago. The naming of two counterrevolutionary organizations and warnings
against espionage suggest a widespread underground effort. Comfort units continue
to be sent to the Burma frontier to bolster troops and win over minority groups,
amid direct charges that America supplies the Chiang troops, in Burma. New border
protection measures are also indicated by the establishment of so-called "fishermen's
hsien" along the Kwangtung coast, especially in view of recent claims that these
fishermen receive great benefits from People's Liberation Army troops.
Continuing peasant dissatisfaction is apparent from reports that Kwangtung farmers
had doubts about land reform; that water rights were disputed in Yunnan; that
agricultural tax collectors are warned to use caution; and, that Southwest cadres
still are "guilty" of favoring mutual aid teams and cooperatives. Orders to
cooperatives to abandon advance cotton purchase contracts, but "allay the fears"
of farmers suggest that rigid controls over cotton acreage are considered essential.
