...Even in 1958, when U.S. output had slumped, the U.S. produced 77.2 million metric tons of steel to Russia's 55.2 million; 4,258,000 autos to Russia's 122,400; 724 million kw-h of electricity to Russia's 233 million kwh; 331 million metric tons of crude oil to Russia's 113 million tons...

Ironore production, added Peking, stood at 76.5 million tons, three times the figure for all of 1958. And just to show that nothing is too small to be transformed by the Marxist miracle, Mao's drumbeaters reported that near Dairen in Manchuria there...
