    Pitfalls in the use of China's Foreign Trade Statistics (1964)

    Notes: There has been an impression among students of China that foreign trade data published by Peking are generally more reliable and accurate than its other statistics. This confidence is based on the following grounds. First, since the early years of the régime most foreign trade has been handled by a small number of state companies under the Foreign Trade Ministry. These companies are large in size and well organised, hence they must have respectable accounting and statistical systems. The exports and imports by private firms existing in the early 1950s were recorded by the customs office. Therefore, foreign trade turnovers for the period as a whole are relatively complete and free from serious errors. Secondly, since foreign trade always involves other countries as trading partners, which usually publish their trade statistics in great detail, it is unwise, if not impossible, for the Chinese authorities to falsify their own foreign trade statistics.

    A Study of the Rouble-Yuan Exchange Rate (1964)
    Cambridge : Cambridge University Press

    Notes: It is generally known that the exchange rates in Soviet-type economies are disequilibrium exchange rates in the sense that without controls they do not tend to lead to a balance on the international current accounts. Of the two economies involved, it is also known that these exchange rates are unrealistic, in the sense that they have no relation to the gold content of currencies involved, if the currencies have a gold content, and that these rates do not reflect the relative domestic purchasing power of the two currencies on internationally traded commodities. In the case of the exchange rate between the Soviet rouble and the Communist Chinese yuan, even this disequilibrium and unrealistic exchange rate has in the main been veiled in secrecy since 1950. This secrecy has caused considerable difficulties in working with the Communist foreign trade statistics.

    The China-Watchers Tested (1980)
    Cambridge : Cambridge University Press

    Notes: After the severe economic setback in 1959–61 the Chinese Government decided to blackout virtually all economic statistics. The policy was so thoroughly executed for 17 years that during this period China-watchers outside the country were forced to engage in a guessing game to estimate how well the Chinese economy had performed. Through a variety of procedures they derived numerous estimates for important products and major economic indicators. Since most of the estimates differed considerably from each other, people who were interested in the economic development of China and hoped to gather information from the studies of China-watchers often found themselves in a state of deep confusion. They did not know which set of estimates they should accept as representing, or nearly so, the true situation in the country. It is only in recent months that the Chinese authorities haverelaxed their information control, with scattered economic statistics gradually appearing in Chinese newspapers and other publications. Some of these statistics concern current production while others refer to previous economic performance. It is possible now to compare the official figures for early years with the western estimates to see how close they are. In other words, assuming that these official figures are the nearest we shall get to the truth for some time, they give us an opportunity for the first time to rate the performance of the China-watchers.

    The Production and Application of Chemical Fertilizers in China (1975)
    Cambridge : Cambridge University Press
    The @China quarterly 64 (1975), S. 712-729

    Notes: The production of chemical fertilizers has been one of the most successful industries in China in the past two decades. It has not only manifested a remarkable long-term growth rate but also avoided shortterm fluctuations. During the crisis years of the early 1960s when virtually all industries suffered set-backs, the production of fertilizers managed to progress steadily. Its success is attributed to a number of favourable factors. First of all the importance of chemical fertilizers in developing China's agriculture was fully recognized by all leaders in the Party after their early policy of reliance on the mobilization of natural fertilizers had failed. Consequently, in spite of the frequent power struggles, the chemical fertilizer industry has received uninterrupted emphasis and support. Secondly, the technological problems in producing fertilizers are less formidable than in some other industries so that in a relatively short period the Chinese have learned the basic methods of producing fertilizers and of manufacturing new equipment for this industry. Thus, production has been able to expand whether under the foreign embargo or under the self-imposed policy of self-reliance. Finally, there is no serious resource barrier in the provision of key materials for the production of fertilizers.

    Growth of the Construction Industry in Communist China (1965)
    Cambridge : Cambridge University Press
    The @China quarterly 22 (1965), S. 125-142

    Notes: As Western observers generally know, China achieved very impressive progress in most sectors of its economy during the first ten years (1949–59) of the Communist régime. The rapid rise in production was mainly a result of the intensive investment programme under their five-year plans aimed at raising the productive capacity for the country as a whole.

    Sino-Soviet Exchange Rates (1971)
    Cambridge : Cambridge University Press

    Notes: In one of my articles published in this journal several years ago, I promised to clarify the mystery of the Sino-Soviet exchange rate system. However, some puzzling points remained unanswerable until the publication of an article by Iu. V. Vladimirov. Now, there seems to be a clearer picture about the most complex exchange rate system that has ever existed between any two national currencies.
