The basic export of China - tea and silk, the tea making approximately one third and silk (mainly crude silk) completely one half of its full export trade. Other basic export - sugar, a straw lace (one twentieth its full export), disappears, a paper, china, and pottery. Its basic import - and the cotton goods, the opium making one fifth, and the cotton goods much more than half, its full trade in import. Other basic import - the woollen goods, the metal goods and cars, coal, and kerosene oil. Considerable import also is made of a crude clap. But if China only had a blessing of the educated and progressive government this arrangement of export and import long would not proceed. Resources of China of coal among the finest and it is final among the greatest in the whole world. Its coal fields, really as is estimated, are in twenty times bigger than that of all incorporated Europe. The most part of this coal, also, has the purest quality, and its most part very accessible to the miner. And about its coal fields extensive deposits of some of the richest iron ores in the world. Again, the most part of soil of China is extremely fertile. There are really two areas, one of '' and another, very much [143] are more extensive, 'yellow soil,' it among the most fertile in the world. It - because of degree and abundance of yellow soil of China it
'Yellow' imperial colour, and the emperor named 'the yellow lord.' Climate, also, the Chinese admissions almost whole range of useful vegetative products which will be lifted. Clap growth is already very big because for a clap of seven centuries there was a basic fabric for clothes of people. And already it is made by modern cars. But also growth of a clap and its manufacturing by modern methods would be extremely increased, if only services for internal transportation existed, and freedom from the unfair taxation could be provided. If, to put it briefly, China only had railways both the good and educated system of the government its advancement and prosperity soon would make the Western world envious. But its government is not only silly improgressive, it also is fatally prodigal. Approximately seventy percent. From the whole income of the country it is lost to public use through evil deed of officials. And only approximately 85 miles of the railway were for the present open, though it is necessary to tell, that 200 or 250 miles are in work more.
