But now overseas Chinese are again sending money from the Philippines and Southeast Asia to rehabilitate the coastal trade, and on the Chinese New Year nearly every Amoy citizen boasted the traditional (but in recent years unobtainable) new suit or dress. Inland, such cities as Hengyang and Changsha, once 98% destroyed, are 30% rebuilt. Pot-holed Canton streets are being repaired, and are expected to be shipshape in three months...

A new refinery outside Mexico City would soon ease the capital's shortage, but others had yet to be built in Monterrey, Salamanca, Salina Cruz...
