Production of Machinery and Equipment in
the Peoples Republic of China
This handbook presents estimates of China's annual production of some 30
major items of machinery and equipment for all or parts of 1949-73. It is intended
to supplement other research on the topic.'
Table 1 groups the estimates in the order in which the products appear in
the State Statistical Bureau's standard industrial classification code 2; it also
serves as an index of page numbers for locating specific production series.
Table 2 lists the space-saving abbreviations adopted for citing the principal
sources of information.
Tables 3 through 9 present the estimates, with footnotes indicating the
sources and methodologies used in deriving the estimates. Because estimating
production by China's merchant shipbuilding industry involved unique difficul-
ties, the methodology is described separately in Appendix A.
Note: Data in parentheses are calculated residuals. Computations in the methodology are, in
general, based on unrounded data, and the results have been rounded.

Total output in 1954 -56, according to the sources cited below, was
450,475 kw. Hence, 1.953 output = 510,000 - 450,475 = 59,525 kw.

1964--65 The Chinese told visitors that output in 1972 was about 4.5 times that of
1965 which was 25% greater than in 1964. If output in 1972 was 3,500,000
kw (see below), output in 1965 was about 780,000 kw and in 1964 was
about 625,000 kw.
Output in 1972 was 528,000 kw at the Peking Heavy Electrical Machinery
Plant and I million kw at the Shanghai Electrical Machinery Plant
(Report, Canadian Electrical Power Mission to the Peoples Republic of
China, The Runge Press, Ltd., Ottawa, 1974). In estimating a total of
about 3,500,000 kw for the year, it was assumed that the electrical plants
at Te-yang and Harbin produced about the same levels of output as the
Peking and Shanghai plants, respectively, and that smaller plants else-
where in China produced a total of about 500,000 kw.

Units
1949 56 TGY, p. 97.
Official sources reported output of 50,000 units in 1958 (TGY, p. 97), 70,000 in 1959
(PR, 5 Apr 1960, p. 16), and a planned figure of 90,000 for 1960 (Ibid., p. 12).
These Leap Forward figures are obviously crude estimates and have been heavily
deflated to exclude the huge volume of primitive machinery thrown together by
unskilled labor in communes and small, poorly equipped shops during this period.
Only about half of the reported output is believed to have been comparable in
quality, durability, and utility to the 28,297 units reported for 1957. Estimates for
1958 and thereafter were derived from fragmentary reports on output trends and
capacity additions at some 30 major machine tool plants. These estimates, for the
most part, should be considered as minimum totals; in any given year, literally
hundreds of small and medium-size machinery plants may have been assigned the
tasks of producing a small assortment of standardized lathes, drilling machines, etc.

Total output through 1958 was 90,000 units (NCNA, Peking, 18 Sep 1959);
through 1956 it was 64,000 units (Past and Present, p. 161). Ilence, output in
1957 - 90,000 - 64,000 - 13,700 (1958 output) = 12,300.

Output of 1,400,000 units in 1965 was double output in 1964 (NCNA, 17 and
18 Dcc 1965).

Ibid., No. 5, 1959, pp. 3 4 (JPIIS, No. 981 1, 23 Oct 1959).
According to.IMJP, 7 Apr 1960 (FBIS, I1 Apr 1960, p. 13B23), total output in
1958 59 was 1,200,000 units. Hence, output in 1959 =1,200,000 - 637,000 =
563,000.
According to [IC, No. 6, 16 Feb 1961 (SCMM, No. 256, p. 21), output in-
creased by more than 20%.
A visiting foreigner was told that actual output totaled 1,800,000 units in 1969
and that the 1971 plan called for 3 million units. Interpolation between
these figures gives an estimate of 2,400,000 units for 1970.
An increase of 10% was assumed.
According to NCNA, Peking, 5 Oct 1973 (FBIS, 24 Oct 1973, p. B13), output
in 1972 was 2.1 times the figure for 1965. Hence, 1965 output= 3,300,000(
2.1 = 1,571,000 units.
Output increased by 30% in the first quarter (TKP, Peking, 3 May 1965,
p. 2) and by 20% to 47% in the first eight months (FBIS, 15 Oct 1965,
p. ccc2). On this basis, an annual increase of 25% was assumed. 1964 out-

According to NCNA, Peking, 5 Oct 1973 (FBIS, 24 Oct 1973, p. B13), output

Notes and sources:
Where data on both inventory and production were not available, it was assumed that production
in the current year was the difference between inventory in the current year and inventory in the
previous year.
1949 inventory: 4'KP, Peking, 19 Dec 1957, p 1.
1951 inventory: PC, 1 Oct 1952, p. 28.
1956 inventory and production: 390,000 horsepower of equipment was manufactured in 1952-56
(ECMM, No. 127, 5 May 1958, p. 48); hence, inventory in 1956 =390,000+118,000=508,000.
From 1 Oct 1955 to 30 Sep 1956, 170,000 horsepower were added (ECMM, No. 99, p. 1).
1955 inventory: 508,000 - 170,000 = 338,000.
1957 inventory and production: Inventory (JMJP, 14 Jan 1961); hence, 1957 production =
560,000 - 508,000 = 52,000.
1958-63 inventory and production: Figures for production in these years were reduced to account for
discrepancies between official data reported from year to year and total capacity reported for
1957 .and 1962. Yearly production and inventory figures indicate an addition of 7,480,000 horse-
power during the period, whereas a later figure indicates that the inventory rose by 5,240,000
horsepower. Thus production figures derived from official data were reduced by 30%. The differ-
ences in official figures probably are due mainly to the manufacture of unusable equipment dur-
ing the Leap Forward (1958-60). Derivation of the unadjusted and adjusted series is shown below
(in thousand horsepower):

Planned output for 1960 was 2,500,000 horsepower, or 40'%, above actual output in 1959 (C73,
No. 618, 17 \lav 1960). Hence, actual output in 1959 was 2,500,0001.4 - 1,790,000.

1964 inventory and production: The inventory increased by 12 times over 1957 (Cl?, Mar 1965,
p. 3)-13 x 560,000 = 7,300,000. Output in 1964 = 7,300,000 - 6,440,000 - 860,000.
1965 inventory and production: Output was one-third higher than in 1964 (Far East Trade and
Development, May 1967, p. 461) -1.333 x 860,000 = 1,150,000. Inventory = 7,300,000 + 1,150,000 =
8,450,000.
1966 inventory and production: Supplies were one-third higher than in 1965 (FBIS, 9 Jan 1967
p. cec4) 1,333 x 1,150,000=1,530,000. Inventory=8,450,000+1,530,000=9,980,000.
1970-73 inventory and production: 1971 inventory (FBIS, 23 Oct 1974, p. El); 1973 inventory
(NCNA, Peking, 16 Sep 1974). Output in the first eight months of 1972 was 30% higher than in the
same period in 1971 (:VCNA, Peking, 5 Oct 1972) and 49% higher in the first eight months of 1973
compared with the same period in 1972 (FBIS, 5 Oct 197:3, p. 132). On the assumption that those
rates of increase were maintained throughout the year, inventory and output were derived as
follows:
Let '71 and I7, represent inventories at the end of 1973 and 1971, .respectively, and Q.7,, Q72,

Production
Production of tractors began in 1958. Standard units measure each type of tractor in terms of
horsepower rather than physical units and thus provide an adjustment for differences in size, weight,
complexity, and cost. China follows the practice of other Communist countries and converts each
tractor to standard units of 15 drawbar horsepower. The drawbar horsepower of Chinese tractors
ranges from 50%, to 70% of the more commonly used brake horsepower. I' or most years, the tractor
produced in the greatest volume probably has been it 54 brake horsepower inodel that develops 36
horsepower at the drawbar. One, physical unit is equivalent to 36, 15 2.1 standard 15-horsc-
power units.
1958: Production was 957 physical units (TG )-, p. 98). A perusal of reports discussing tractor models
produced in 1958 suggests that an average tractor was the equivalent of about 1.2 standard 15-
horsepower units. Thus, 957 x 1.2 1,100 standard units. '['his estimate, is consistent with a report
that annual average output in 1960 61 20,000 standard units was about 20 times that of 1958
(SCMM, No. 315, 28 May 1962, p. 21).

Notes and sources:
Production of garden tractors was negligible prior to 1964. The garden tractor produced in the
greatest volume probably has been a model with a brake horsepower of 7. Assuming a drawbar horse-
power of 4, one physical unit is equivalent to about one-fourth of a standard 15-horsepower unit.
figures in the table were derived by first estimating output in physical units and then dividing these
estimates by 4 to obtain output in standard 15-horsepower units.
With the exceptions noted below, the estimates were based on fragmentary reports of output
trends at numerous, widely scattered, small-scale tractor plants. Inventory estimates were made by
adding production in the current year to inventory in the previous year, with no allowance made
for depreciation.
Production
1966: Output in the first nine months was up by 200% over that of the corresponding period in 1965
(SCMP, No. 3807, 25 Oct 1966, p. 14). This rate of increase was assumed for the entire year.
1970: Output in the first seven months was almost twice as high as that for all of 1966 (CR, Dec
1970, p. 20). Output in the first seven months was 21,000 and for the entire year was esti-
mated as 21,000 x 12/7 = 36,000,
1972: Output was 24 times that of 1965 (Chong Shih, Al Glance at China's Economy, Peking, Foreign
Languages Press, 1974, p. 23).
1973: Output was 32 times that of 1965 (CR, Jan 1975, p. 6).
Inventory
1972: Inventory in 1972 was more than 50 times that of 1965 (Cheng Shih, op. cit., p. 18)-50 x
4,100 = 205,000. This estimate of inventory served as a control total in estimating output for the
years not specifically listed above.

For all practical purposes, the ('h'ang-rh'un Motor Vehicle Plant was the only producer
during 19511 61.
1956 58: TGY, p. 98.
1959: JMJP, 25 Jan 1960.
1960-61: Arbitrary estimates based on reports that Ch'ang-ch'un was extensively reorganized
(JMJP, 22 May 1960), with assembly operations apparently reduced in order to expand
production of spare parts (Ibid., 17 May 1961) and gasoline engines for mining locomotives
(Radio Peking, 3 Oct 1960).
1962 61: :Ax of 1,ep 196l, total output was running at an annual rate that ucs.s 2.7 limes that of
1957; 1961 output, hence, Naas 2.7 x 7,500 20,300 LSCMI', No. 3:306, 28 Sell 1961, p. 16). Total
output in 1961 rose by more than 20`%, over that of 1963; 20,300/1.21 - 16,800 (Ibid., No. 3391,
5 Feb 19115, p. I ). Total output in the first eight months of 1963 was double that of the same
period in 1962; assuming this rate was maintained, 1962 output must have been around
16,800/2=8,400 (CIIKY, 10 Oct 1963, p. 3). At Ch'ang-ch'un, output in 1964 was the highest
ever-a minimum of 19,500 is assumed (NCNA, Peking, 30 May 1965). Output in 1963 at the
Shanghai Truck Plant was about 600 units; so output at Ch'ang-ch'un was 16,800-600=16,200
units (La Citta Futura, Rome, No. 12-13, Jul Aug 1965, pp. 14-16). Output at Ch'ang-ch'un
in the first nine months of 1963 increased by 123% over the same period in 1962; assuming
that rate was maintained, output in 1962 was t6,200/2.23=7,300 (Wen-hui pao, Hong Kong,
4 Oct 1963, p. 2).
1965 (16: Output at ('li'ang-ch'un in 1965 rose h} 40.8'% over that. of 1961; I.11 x 19,500-
27,500 (C'/i 111t', 12 Apr 1966, p. 1 ). 't'otal output is estimated to have risen to at least 30,000.
Output at Ch'ang-ch'un in the first 11 months of 1966 was 36.3% higher than in all of 1965;
assuming 36% for the year,. 1,36 x 27,500=37,400 (SCMP, No. 3839, 13 Dec 1966, p. 21).
Production at other plants in Shanghai, Nanking, Tientsin, and Tsinan is estimated at 5,600;
hence total output was about 1:1,000 units.
1967 (18: I"igures are rough estimates based on fragments'}- reports of worl< stoppages in
Ch'ang-ch'un and elsewhere (see, e.g., h'BIS, 15 May 1967, p. dd(122).
1969-73: A visiting foreign industrial group was told that total output in 1969 was 55,000 to
65,000 units (American Machinist, 27 Dec 1971, p. 21). Output at Ch'ang-ch'un in 1970 surpassed
the plant's designed capacity by 67% (PR, 13 Aug 1971, p. 30); since the original capacity was
30,000 units, output in 1970 was 30,000 x 1.67=50,000. Output at Ch'ang-ch'un increased by
20% in 1971 (JPRS, No. 58070, 26 Jan 1973, p. 1); 50,000 x 1.2=60,000. Output at
Ch'ang-ch'un in 1972 was 69.8% higher than in 1965 (FBIS, 27 Jul 1973, p. G2); 1.7 x 27,500 =
47,000. Output at Ch'ang-ch'un in the first six months of 1973 was 7.8% above that in the same
period in 1972 (Ibid.); assuming 7% for the year, 1.07 x 47,000=50,000. Total output is
estimated to have grown much faster than output at Ch'ang-ch'un during this period because
of the proliferation of small-scale plants engaging in batch production of motor vehicles. By
1970 the Chinese reported that "cars and trucks are not only produced in large modern plants
but over 20 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions have plants of their own turning out
mostly trucks for local use under local conditions" (CR, Oct 1970, pp. 32-34).

Radio sets
1953, 1957, 1960: Output in 1960 "was over 60 times more than in 1953" (SCMP, No. 2439, 17 Feb
1961, p. 10 11) and in 1957 and 1960 it amounted to 390,000 and 1,500,000 sets, respectively-
(NCNA,Peking, 8 Nov 1961); hence, output in 1953 was 1,500,000/60=25,000 sets.
1954: .KJJP, 16 Jun 1958.
1955-56: Output in 1957 was 170,000 sets greater than in 1956 (SCMP, No. 1684, 6 Jan 1958, p. 5)
390,000 - 170,000 = 220,000 sets in 1956. Output in 1956 was 79 % greater than in 1955 (Radio
Peking, 9 Mar 1957) 220,000/1.79 - 123,000.
1958: NCN,4, 9 Nov 1959.
1959: According to Wu-hsien-lien (Radio), No. 2, Feb 1960, at the end of 1959, output was four
times that in the last stage of the First Five-Year Plan (assumed to refer to 1957).
1961-69: Estimated from fragmentary press reports on output trends in major radio plants.
1970: Sales of transistor radios increased by 280% compared with sales in 1969 (BBCISWB/FEI
W604/A/13, 13 Jan 1971); on the assumptions that sales equaled domestic production and that
transistor radios made up 75% of production in 1965 and 95% in 1969-70:
1965 ....................... 1,000,000 750,000 250,000
1969 ....................... 1,000,000 950,000 50,000
1970 ....................... 3,800,000 3,600,000 200,000
1971: Output was four times that of 1965 (FBIS, 19 May 1972, p. B2).
1972: Output increased by 12% over 1971 (FBIS, 7 Aug 1973, p. B5).
1973: Assumes an 80% increase based on a report that output increased by 83.2% in the first five
months (FBIS, 7 Aug 1974, p. B5).
Television sets
1961-71: Estimated from fragmentary reports on output trends in major television plants. China
reportedly had 20,000 sets in use throughout the country in 1960 (TKP, Hong Kong, 4 Sep 1960)
and 100,000 sets in use in 1971 (South China Morning Post, Hong Kong, 29 Nov 1972). Since China
did not begin series production of television sets until 1961, the sum of the 20,000 sets (mostly
imported) in 1960 and the accummulative production in 1961-71 should approximate 100,000
sets. The estimates do, in fact, sum to 101,000 sets.
1972-73: Output rose by 100% in 1972 and by 88.8% in the first few months of 1973 (FBIS, 7 Aug
1973, p. B5). The increase for 1973 is assumed to have been maintained throughout the year.

1959: An estimated 25% increase, the increase as estimated for Shanghai-262,000 units in 1958
and 330,000 in 1959 (NCNA, Peking, 3 Jan 1958 and 27 Dcc 1960; JPRS, No. 4748, 30 Jun 1961).
1960: Output increased 22-fold compared with that in 1952 (Wen-hui pao, Hong Kong, 21 Mar 1961,
p. 1) and was more than 20% greater than in 1959 (SCMM, No. 256, p. 21).
1.961-62: Output in 1962 was estimated from data on five major plants (SCMP, No. 2827, 29 Sep
1962). Output in 1961 was estimated from a report that, in Shanghai, output in the first seven
months of 1962 amounted to 92% of total output in 1961 (NCNA, Shanghai, 22 Dec 1962)-
7112 x 110.92 x 1,000,000 -634,000.
1963: Assumes that the 10.1% increase reported for the first six months (FBIS, 13 Jul 1963, pp.
ccc8-ccc9) was maintained throughout the year.
1964: Market supply was 50% greater than in 1957 (FBIS, 31 Dec 1964, p. ccc2).
1965, 1971-72: Output in 1971 was five times that of 1957-5 x 806 =4,030 (PR, 13 Oct 1972, p. 11).
Output in 1972 was 6.7% above that in 1971-1.067 x 4,030=4,300 (FBIS, 19 Mar 1973, p. B5).
Output in 1972 was 2.4 times that in 1965-4,300)2.4 = 1,792 (FBIS, 24 Oct 1973, p. 1313).
1966: An estimated 11% increase over 1960, the same increase as reported for Shanghai-495,000
units in 1960 and 550,000 in 1966 (NCNA, Peking, 27 Dec 1960 and CKIIW, 21 Oct 1966, p. 10).
1968: Assumes that the 18% increase in the first half of the year compared with the previous
peak output for that period (1966) was maintained throughout the year (FBIS, 10 Jul 1968,
p. B4).
1969: Interpolated between 1968 and 1970.
1970: Output was 260 times that in 1949 (CR, Feb 1972, p. 47).

Shanghai
The figures for Shanghai probably are for Shanghai Watch Plant No. I. Total output from all
watch manufacturing plants in the city was 3,040,000 units in 1973 (FBIS, 17 Oct 1974, p. G5).
1956: Trial production (NCNA, Shanghai, 21 Mar 1957)-mass production did not begin until 1958.
1958-60: Chih-fang chih-pao, Shanghai, 11. Dec 1961, p. 2.

1965: Derived from an estimated increase of 10% for 1966.
1966, 1972: Output in 1972 was 2.5 million, a 1.7-fold increase over 1966 (TKP, Hong Kong,
13 May 1973, p. 3); hence, output in 1966 = 2.5/2.7 = 0.925 million.

1965: Derived by adding an estimated 850,000 for Shanghai as a whole, 153,500 for the Tientsin
plant (Barry M. Richman, A First Hand Study of Industrial Management in Communist China,
University of California, Los Angeles, 1967, p. 61), and at least 100,000 from a new plant in
Nanking.
1971-72: Output in 1972 was 5.8 times that in 1965 (FBIS, 24 Oct 1973, p. B13)-1,200 x 5.8=
6,950 and 12% above that in 1971-6,950/1.12=6,200.
1973: Assumes that the 12% increase in the first eight months was maintained throughout the year
(FBIS, 24 Oct 1973).

Merchant Shipbuilding
The Chinese have released a good deal of information about their merchant
shipbuilding industry, but most of it is fragmentary and restricted to
announcements of the launchings of major new vessels. Virtually the sum total
of official aggregative statistics on nonnaval shipbuilding is arrayed in
Table A-1. In filling the gaps in Table A-1 and extending the time series through
1959-73, several simplifying assumptions and adjustments had to be made. The
methodology is explained step by step in the footnotes to Tables A-2 through
A-4 and is briefly summarized here.
The first step involved the choice of an appropriate unit of measurement.
Tonnage in terms of light ship displacement (LSD) was selected because it is
the best measure for use in estimating construction costs. LSD of a vessel is
calculated by subtracting the deadweight (DWT) tonnage from the full load
displacement (FLD) tonnage. LSD is, in short, the weight of the ship fully
equipped and ready for sea but empty (or "light") of cargo, passengers, stores,
fuel, or fresh water.* LSD for the missing years 1953-55 and 1957-58 was
derived by extrapolation (see Table A-2).
*Examples of Chinese use of the units FLI), DINT, and LSD can be found in Chung-kuo Isao-
ch'uan (China Shipbuilding), Shanghai, No, 4, 15 Oct 1959 (translated in JPRS 2850, 17 Jun 1960).

1 From Table A-1.
2 The figures for 1952 and 1956 were taken from Table A-1, and those for 1953-55 and 1957-58
are estimates extrapolated by the Kaplan-Nloorsteen method (Norman N1. Kaplan and Richard 11.
4[oorsteen, Indexes of Soviet Industrial Output, Santa :Monica, 1960).
Ii These estimates of work actually done in each year were derived as a three-year moving aver-
age of LSD in which estimates for production during the preceding and following years were each
weighted by 0.25 and production during the current year by 0.50.
4 In deriving the moving average, LSD in 1959 was taken from Table A-l. LSD of major ships
(25.6) was added to LSD of minor vessels (13.0) to obtain total LSD (68.61. Thus, work actually
done in 1958 was calculated as follows: 0.25 x 33.2+0.5 x 62.2+0.25 x 68.6 56.6, Note that, for
minor vessels, it is assumed that LSD of ships launched=LSD of work done.

LSD figures so derived were then adjusted to account for the fact that the
actual work of construction and fitting-out in shipbuilding is usually spread
over a year or more. Accordingly, LSD in "work done" terms was estimated
by use of a three-year moving average in which one-fourth of the work done
each year was allocated to the preceding and following years and one-half to
the current year.*
Derivation of LSD estimates for later years required much more complicated
procedures. Essentially, the "hard core" of the estimates was China's sporadic
announcements of major ships completed. For example, official sources re-
ported the launching in 1958 of the Ho Ping 28, an oceangoing freighter
with a FLD of 8,730 tons and a DWT capacity of 5,000 tons.** The sum of
other such tonnages for specific ships announced in 1958 was about 37,200 DWT
tons, or about 40% of China's total DWT tonnage reported for that year.
In 1959, similar reports yielded a DWT figure of some 37,700 tons, or about
30% of the planned total production of 122,300 tons. Based on these percentages,
it was assumed that the DWT of announced major ship launchings typically
constituted one-third of total merchant shipbuilding for 1959--73 and that
barges, tugs, and other smaller vessels accounted for the other two-thirds.
With estimates of the minimum DWT tonnages of major ships launched
each year, a technique had to be developed for converting DWT into LSD
tonnages. On the basis of the relationships detailed in Table A-3, the average
LSD was assumed to represent 68% of DWT. Derivation of the estimates
for total output of merchant ships for 1959--73 is explained in the footnotes
to Table A-4.
As a rough test of feasibility, the estimates were compared with a somewhat
ambiguous Chinese claim that ships built in each of the years 1971-73 ex-
ceeded in tonnage China's total for the preceding decade.*** The estimates
are in close agreement with the Chinese claim if the statement is interpreted
to mean that total tonnage for the entire period 1971-73 exceeded the total
for 1961-70. The estimates show a total of 804,200 DWT for 1971-73 and
766,600 DWT for 1961-70. Clearly, the phrase "in each year" is a mistake in
translation; for that to be true, output in 1.971, 1972, and 1973 would have to be
enormous and output in 1961-70 would have to be almost negligible.

I These estimates should be considered minimum totals. They were compiled by adding up the tonnages of major
ship launchings announced each year by the following Chinese newspapers and periodicals: C11, C'R, Pier green. JIl1JP,
PR, and TKP. This information from direct sources was supplemented by translations of Chinese publications and
monitored radio broadcasts by the JPRS, SCMP, FB I S, and BBC.
Derived by multiplying column I by 0.68, the arithmetical mean of the 18 LSD/DWT ratios calculated in
Table A-3.
3 Derived by the moving average method described in footnote 3 in 'f'able A-2.
4 Derived by multiplying column 3 by 2.0. The assumption here is that work done on major ships typically accounts
for one-third of total work done in any given year. This is based on the estimates for 1958-59, in which DWT of
major ships launched accounted for about 30%-40% of total reported (1958) and planned (1959) production.
5 Derived by multiplying column 4 by 1.47, the reciprocal of the 0.68 figure used in column 2 (LSD= 0.68 x DWT;
DWT=1.47 x L") 1)).
8 Derived by adding column 1 to column 5.
7 Derived by adding column :3 to column 1.
