...could see the supplies, the trucks and material stacked up but we were not permitted to hit it. We could not violate the air over Manchuria. In order to hit a target in your bomb run, you have to fly a straight course, and you usually try to bomb on the length of the bridge and not crossways. But in order not to violate the air over Manchuria, Communist China, we could not fly the length of the bridge to take it out. We could not go over midstream...
Ardent Desire. In Red China last week, the Laborites also visited three Russian-equipped iron and steel mills at Anshan and a coal mine at Tangshan, Manchuria. The young mine director told the Laborites that production was much higher than before the war because the workers were now the enthusiastic owners of the plant. Further research, however, disclosed that 1) the mine had been confiscated from a British company, and the Laborites were now inspecting stolen property; 2) the British had had almost as high a production rate as the Communists now claim.

...Power Concern. In the Pentagon's "big picture," Burma is an area of denial, something to be kept from the Communists if possible, but far from the fundamental strategic centers of power, e.g., the Urals, Manchuria; the Pentagon does not want to get bogged down there.

Said Aneurin Bevan: "Our presence is sufficient to show our support for the Chinese People's Revolution...
...spend too much for imports, much more than her high-priced exports can balance. (A Japanese refrigerator sells for around $500.) But not all of her troubles are the fruits of postwar folly. Before she lost her empire in the war, she got rice from Korea, wheat from Manchuria. Now she must import $400 million in food annually to feed her people. Her own rice crop last year was the poorest in 60 years. She has no coking coal of her own; her prewar source of supply, the Chinese mainland, is now shut off. So she imports this coal from...
