At his age, however, Teng is an interim successor at best. Behind him are
several competent officials in their 40s, SOs, and OOs who were also given important
jobs- last January. The State Council that was a ppointed in January consists
primarily of those and other officials of moderate ix?rsuasion. Several are known
proteges of Chou.

? 1. The Current Political Situation
in the People's Xcpublic of China
Peking in recent months has devoted primary attention to putting its domestic
house in order, a precondition for carrying out its stated goal of building a
Modernized Chin:i by the end of the century. Repeated calls for unity and stability
suggest that China's leaders are trying to put b.hind tl:ent the personal and political
animosities that have plagued the leadership for the past atinc years and have slowed
economic development. Political instability over the last several years has
contributed to an erosion of public confidence in China's leaders. This has been
especially true of local officials, who have been reluctant to carry out Peking's
orders for fear of being caught in a sudden shift in the political line.
Major party and government meetings held last January emphasized the unity
theme and, more importantly, laid the grq,undwork for a relatively orderly
succession to the current aging leadership. China's current leaders are essential)
the same group that has riled the country since the Communists came to power
in 1949. As none of these people can be expected to survive for more than 10
years, a priority need is the grooming of younger leaders who are capable of
directing China's, economic development program for the next 25 years.
The succession question took on greater urgency last summer with the
hospitalization of Premier Chou En-lai who is generally regarded as the architect
of China's current domestic and foreign policies and the leader of the moderate
coalition in the party. Chou remains in a rest home but seems still to be in overall
control of affairs of state. The supervisioti of day-to-day affairs, which was Chou's
primary task for more than 20 years, has now been turned over to 70-year-old
Ten,-. Hsiao-ping. At the meetings in January, Teng was named first deputy premier
and is Chou's apparent successor.
Teng seems to be in general agreement with Chou En-tai's policies and is not
? expected to make any major changes if and when he becomes premier. Ten` has
? a well-carved reputation as a strict disciplinarian and an able and experienced
administrator. At the meetings in January, Ten.- was named to top positions in
the party and the 'national military hierarchy. the; eby ,giving hint important posts
in China's three major bureaucracies - the party, government, and military.
 The extreme left win- of the party, which is headed by Mao's wife, Chiang
Ching, was all but excluded from the new government and has lost influence in
party affairs as well. The power of 'the military, which was the dominant political
force until a few years ago, has also been sharply reduced. Civilians have been
named to several top military posts, and r1any of the most influential military
men in the provinces were transl'erred away from their power bases and sent to
new areas where they have been denied top party and government positions. Pelting
had reason to believe that some of these military men may have been involved
in an alleged coup plot in 1971.

As Peking builds toward the future, the position of China's top leader, Mao
Tse-tung. has come increasingly into question. Mao has been out of Peking since
last summer, his longest absence from the capital since coming to power. Recently
he has stopped meeting foreign visitors, and there are signs that Chinese officials
are beginning to take a critical view of many of Mao's former policies. Sonic people
seem to hold Mao responsible for the political. instability of recent years. Although
Mao is on record as endorsing the unity and stability theme, his physical separation
from the rest of China's leaders. raises questions about his actual view of current
developments. Mao is kept fully informed of all major developments, but the
Chairman's prolonged absence from the capital suggests that lie may not fully
endorse some recent decisions.

If. The Chinese Economy
Premier Chou inn-lai in his'.governnrent work report to the National Peoples
Congress last January surveyed the mixed performance of the economy in 1974
,and sub~eested that the leadership expects economic growth to b: gradual for sonic
time. A1thou~Jl Chou provided few statistics on either planning or performance,
we believe that the Chinese economy grew in 1974 by only 3% - down from
almost 10' in 1973. Growth in industry slowed to 4%, from a respectable 12ic
in 1973, and agricultural output barely matched the increase in population
(about 2nc).
Among the factors holding back industrial growth in 1974 were:
o the persistence of imbalances among the extractive, processing, and
finishing industries, hig1 lighted by shortages of coal;
o sporadic work stoppages, lowered worker morale, and reduced
productivity created by the anti-Confucius campaign; and
o the overburdening of the transportation system, particularly the railroads.
The sharpest decline occurred in steel output, which fell by 617o in 1974 to
about 24'' million tons. On the positive side, the petroleum industry continued its
strong growth, with a 2051c increase in cnide output to the 65 million ton level
during the year, while the production of electric power, tractors, chemical fibers,
and cement also showed increases.
Agricultural growth during 1974 was adversely affected by generally
unfavorable weather for winter wheat and for fall-harvested grains. Grain output
exceeded the 1973 level of 250 million tons. rising to about 255 million tons.
Nevertheless, grain production in 1974 was clearly less than the authorities hoped
for. Imports of grain, which were 7 million tons in 1974, will continue, with 5.4
million tons already slated for delivery in 1975.
In foreign trade, total exports rose last year, with the rapid expansion of
earnings from oil exports more than offsetting the impact of shrinking world
markets for traditional Chinese exports. Imports grew even faster as worldwide
inflation pushed up China's import costs. China's. hard currency trade deficit
increased from the 1973 level of S370 million to perhaps S13 billion in 1971,
in part from heavier use of medium-terns credits to finance whole plant imports.

Chou reaffirmed the development priorities of agriculture. light industry, and
heavy industry which have prevailed since late 1972 and reiterated Chinese interest
in expansion of trade relations with the non-Commnmunist world. The reduction of
economic ministries and commissions - from 40 to 25 and from 12 to 3,
respectively - announced at the \l'C and Chou's statement that the PRC is drawing
up a ten-year plan in addition to five-year and annual clans suggest that the dcgrec
of centralized planning and management of the economy is to increase.

Chou also singled out the Period of the Fifth Five-Year I11thn (1976-SO) as
crucial to PRC attainment of economic "front rank" status in the world by the
end of the century. The basic problem remains that of lifting the long-tern rate
of grain production above the rate of population growth. Solution of this problem
throw.}t expanding industrial inputs -to agriculture - including inputs of foreign
technology - is clearly implied in Chou's speech. In sum, Chou En-lai appears
to have charted a course of carefully planned but slow growth for the economy
over the next 1.5 years. The leadership is in transition and. Even the PRC's past
experience with radical turns in economic policy, the present moderate approach
may bb difficult to maintain.

Ill. China's Foreign Trade in 1974-75
J 10iligli is in 1974
China's forei;tn trade boom fell victim in 1974 to the growing problems of
the world ec,*nomy. Total trade increased by about 25;%, to roughly S12.5 billion.
well 6.low the 67',. increase in 1973. Most of the increase is attributable to hiz-her
prices, with little or no gro~.tii in volume. Worldwide inflation pushed tip China's
import bill while the economic slowdown in the West cut demand for Chinese
exports, resulting in the largest trade deficit ii China's history -'perhaps S I.3
billion with the non-Communist world, and despite a surplus with the Communist
world, about SI billion overall.
Despite these difficulties, China's balance of payments is not in crisis. Reserves
are well in excess of the trade deficit, the level of foreign debt is manageable,
and Peking's credit rating is excellent.
China began. taking steps to relieve the financial squeeze last fall. Contracts
for agricultural products were deferred or canceled. Fertilizer deliveries were
postponed. Peking also increased its use of short- and medium-term credits.
Trading Partners
Trade. with the non-Communist countries posted the largest gains, accounting
for almost 85% of China's total trade. Imports from the developed West shot up
to slightly above S5 billion from S3.4 billion in 1973, largely due to increased
purchases of agricultural products and machinery. China's deficit with the developed
countries was roughly S2.9 billion.
Sino-Japanese trade jumped 50%, to S3.3 billion. China's imports, boosted
by sizable deliveries of machinery and equipment, exceeded exports by more than
$800 million. China's exports of 4 million' tons of cnide oil worth. about S380
million more than offset the decline in its' traditional exports to Japan.
US-China trade totaled S935 million, a smaller increase than anticipated at
mid-year because China canceled contracts for US grain worth about S300 million.
.Wheat, corn, cotton, soybeans, and oilier agricultural products composed about
?8O% of total US exports of S820 million (see the table). US mnchinen? and
equipment exports rose as delivery began on equipment for the ammonia plants
purchased in 1973 and the second h::?if of the S I50 million Boeing contract was

completed. Growing purchases of cotton textiles helped boost US imports of
Chinese goods to S115 million, tip from S64 million in 1973.
US-China trade encountered several problems last year. Chinese complaints
over the quality of US grain caused delays in wheat shipments and the cancellation
of soybean contracts. US controls on scrap steel exports prevented delivery on
several contracts. On the import side, shipments of Chinese shrimp were rejected
by the Food and Dnig Administration, and the Chinese at the Fall Canton Fair
were more vocal about the lack of most-favored-nation status for their exports.
Purchases of agricultural producls, machinery, and transport equipment were
largely responsible for the growth of China's total imports. China contracted for

cancellations dropp.d actual drli~rri:s to 7 million tons, down front 7.7 million
in'1973. Higher ,rain pt ices, however. pushed the cost tali to over SI billion.
Imports of soy l .ea ns? and cotton were up sttt staati:ill}' from 197;, Nlacliincry and
equipment imports rose sharply as I: rce-seal: deliveries hcgan on the S2.5 billion
worth of whole plants and other equipment ordered in 1973.
Peking signed contracts for 5900 million worth of whole plants in 197.1 -
down from the record 51.2 billion level in 193. Rapid inflation and tight world
credit marl:ets, plus China's need for a breathing spell to ab,orb the large amount
of technology already purchased, were the major reasons for the slowdown in
purchases. Contracts worth 5550 million for the Wtt-han steel tolling complex
composed much of the purchases. with the balance going for additional synthetic
fiber, fertilizer, and electric power plants. In contrast to the whole-plant pro~ram,
new orders for machinery and transp3rt equipment in 1974 were off sharply from
the record level of 1973.
China's exports rose by roughly S1 billion in 1974; petroleum accounted for
almost half of the increase. Sales of crude oil and petroleum products to Japan.
the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Thailand amounted to about 4.5 million tons
worth S44Q?million. Rice exports benefited from, high prices, but other traditional
Chinest! exports, particularly silk and cotton textiles, faced declining derttand.
China's trade this year will be tempered by Peking's attempts to reduce its
trade deficit. Export growth will be small. reflecting poor sales of traditional
products at the 1974 Canton fairs and recession-weakened demand in the West.
An expected doubling of petroleum exports-My do little more than offset the
decline in other exports.
Imports of machinery and equipment will be substantial as lame-scalc deliveries
-continue on 1973 and 1974 contracts. The successful 1974 harvest and declining
textile exports will permit cutbacks its. gain and cotton imports. Other, less essential
?~ imports %%ill be curtailed and the pace of new plant contracts may slow further.
The S700 million surplus enjoyed by the United States in its trade with China
in 1974 will be cut sharply in 1973. US exports to. the I'RC could fall to one-third
last year's level. while US irnport: will continue to rise. China's current low interest
