Inside the city's 40-ft.-thick walls, civilians clustered at the doors of tight-packed rows of shops. The bandaged heads of soldiers stood out in sharp relief among the crowds. Every few hundred yards our car passed soldiers hobbling on crutches or canes. Most of Taiyuan's factories are still working-the arsenal, largest below the Great Wall, at full capacity; the cotton mills, machine-tool works, cigarette factories and soda works at reduced output for lack of raw materials.

But Big Steel's net did not tell the whole story. Because its depreciation reserves "were not sufficient to cover the cost" of replacing property at current high prices, the company had put aside an extra...
