Riches. Some day Shansi may be China's Pennsylvania (see map). The province is watered by tributaries of the Yellow River, which divides Shansi from Shensi. Shansi's rough mountains are heavy with anthracite and iron, and because lack of communications has so far meant limited exploitation, the coal-poor, iron-hungry Japanese want it more than any other inland province. The Chinese, who realize that losing it means surrendering their last talon-hold in North China, have hung on like eagles.
