Behind the Glamor of China s new great Power role and creditable if limited accomplishments in in d t r y still lies the country s fundamental prob Lem. A backward agricultural base peking acknowledges has hardly advanced in two decades and is barely adequate to feed the country s enormous Popula Tion. Since China is still i ally an agricultural society the entire economic Structure is at the mercy of nature. The political Struc Ture is also vulnerable. Bad floods droughts or plagues of insects can destroy the painstaking a n d arduous work of years. During the past year China has imported close to six million tons of Staple trains at a Cost of Mil lion to provide a Reserve for emergencies created by severe shortfalls of agricultural production. Because China s general exports Are limited foreign Exchange is scarce. The fact that much foreign Exchange is allocated for those essential Pur chases demonstrates How serious peking considers the problem. Further evidence of hip Gravity of this situation has appeared.

The text Opportunity in time to reverse of two letters he Lias sent to court s decision. Grains and animal products. To Hong Kong. It has been revealed thai prices of those goods which already have risen sharply during the past year will Rise again grains by about to per cent and general food stuffs by 10 per cent.

Despite occasional irrational aberrations the communist regime has striven mightily and rationally to increase the production of food crops livestock and Industrial crops like Cotton. It has also insured that available food is fairly equitably distributed insofar As an overburdened transportation system can move foodstuffs from areas of relative plenty to deficiency areas. The absence of any really effective irrigation system Means that the chinese still expend much of their Energy fighting nature. Still Aboul 70 per caul i cultural the chinese econ omy lacks sufficient farm machinery fertilizer and pesticides. That vulnerability to a lure and those deficiencies create a vicious Cycle Asri culture is the Only major source of capital. Agriculture s generally poor Condi Tion Means that China can not accumulate sufficient capital to build up ils Industry rapidly. When Agri culture falters Industry cannot expand sufficiently to provide the irrigation works farm machinery and chemicals agriculture so badly needs. Agriculture therefore falters even More. Red Flag the ideological journey of the regime has confirmed officially what observers have know for some Lime. The year 1372 was marred by natural disasters that resulted in significant drop in agricultural production. Lack of fundamental change in agriculture in the 23 years they have ruled China is probably the single greatest disappointment the communists have suffered.
