...when Edgar Snow evaded Chiang Kai Shek's Kuomingtang blockade of the Communist controlled Shensi province and first met Mao Tse Tung and his band of revolutionaries, most people in the outside world doubted that these Chinese "soviets" even existed. Snow's prediction of a Kuomingtang-Comunist alliance was widely discounted; his warning of a post-war victory for the revolution was almost completely ignored.

Formosa's gross national product has been growing at the rate of 7.7% a year, and industrial production is up 11% from last year. Per capita income has been rising, and so has consumer buying...
