- Well, over all these years, has the technological development been very
- rapid?
- I’d say the traditional textile industry has developed rather rapidly,
- but such things as nylon and synthetic fibers haven’t developed fast
- enough.
- I understand that China’s light industry used to be all on the coast,
- for example in the region of Tiānjīn, Shànghāi, and Guāngdōng. Has the
- situation in the interior also changed a great deal now?
- Yes. The situation differs from place to place, but there’s one thing
- that’s the same everywhere.
- What’s that?
- A lot of places that used to be agricultural regions have now started to
- develop, and have light industry, or even heavy industry.
- Yes! Jiāngsū is the same. A large metal industry has developed there.
- In another few years the gulf oil industry will develop greatly. Then
- Shànghāi, Tiānjīn, Guangdong, and Guāngxī will be even busier.
- Really, when that time comes, Shànghāi will be even prettier. I have to
- come back to visit it again.
- Fine! You’ll be most welcome!
