History
The International Development of China
Sun, Yat-sen
China -- Economic conditions -- 1912-1949; Railroads -- China
(c) Commercial Docks to be constructed along all navigable
rivers.
III. Modern Cities with public utilities to be constructed in all
Railway Centers, Termini and alongside Harbors.
IV. Water Power Development.
V. Iron and Steel Works and Cement Works on the largest scale in
order to supply the above needs.
VI. Mineral Development.
VII. Agricultural Development.
VIII. Irrigational Work on the largest scale in Mongolia and
Sinkiang.
IX. Reforestation in Central and North China.
X. Colonization in Manchuria, Mongolia, Sinkiang, Kokonor, and
Thibaut.
If the above program could be carried out gradually, China will not
only be the "Dumping Ground" for foreign goods but actually will be
the "Economic Ocean" capable of absorbing all the surplus capital as
quickly as the Industrial Nations can possibly produce by the coming
Industrial Revolution of Nationalized Productive Machinery. Then there
will be no more competition and commercial struggles in China as well
as in the world.
The recent World War has proved to Mankind that war is ruinous to both
the Conqueror and the Conquered, and worse for the Aggressor. What is
true in military warfare is more so in trade warfare. Since President
Wilson has proposed a League of Nations to end military war in the
future, I desire to propose to end the trade war by coöperation and
mutual help in the Development of China. This will root out probably
the greatest cause of future wars.
The world has been greatly benefited by the development of America as
an industrial and a commercial Nation. So a developed China with her
four hundred millions of population, will be another New World in the
economic sense. The nations which will take part in this development
will reap immense advantages. Furthermore, international coöperation
of this kind cannot but help to strengthen the Brotherhood of Man.
Ultimately, I am sure, this will culminate to be the keystone in the
arch of the League of Nations.
