Britain is building or has contracted to build four major plants in China to produce fertilizers, plastics and synthetic fibers. Two 15,000-ton cargo liners are being built for the Chinese in a Scottish shipyard. The French are building a chemical plant in China, have launched two freighters to be delivered to the Chinese, may also build a passenger ship and a truck-assembly plant. The Italians are selling steel and machinery, fertilizer components and marine engines to the Chinese, while Sweden has found...
