Well, now that the election is finally over, we can get down to some really serious business, and that is the eating and buying of fresh fruits and vegetables. And what more appropriate thing for me to talk about this week than fall fruit season and winter fruit season. Now, it's a little discouraging. There's no peaches and there's no nectarines right now, but there are a lot of good values in the market, in fruit. Apples, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, New Towns, Granny Smiths. Apples have been very good this year, very good prices, depending on size, and the small apples right now are as good as the large apples. I aforementioned, pears have been good. We're into Boss pears, D'Angio pears. And a new pear on the market right now, the French Comise pear, which is a very buttery flavored pear. It's excellent eating out of the hand, and it's also a very good pear to cook with. That's a Comise Pear, very reasonably priced. These are out of Medford. Now, there's no seedless grapes on the market, but there are calmyra grapes, which are a green grape with a little bit of a seed in them, but they are very sweet. They're running about a dollar a pound. Hass avocados are on the mark now year-round. They do cost more money this time of year, as it is not their season. But they're a much better value than the other green-skinned avocados which cost less but do not offer the same flavor. So, always buy the Haas avocado when you can. There are some other buys on the market this week in the fruit department I want to mention. Kiwi fruit out of California, very reasonably priced about a dollar to a dollar and a half a pound. Grapefruit out of Florida Indian River, all sizes, very flavorful and sweet right now. New crop of navel oranges, excellent, 69 cents a pound out of california. I told you about the persimmons, they're very good right now and also ripe. There are some Satsuma, that's a seedless tangerine. We'll get into all the tangerines at a later time, but tangerins are starting to make their appearance. Giant, giant pomegranate is coming in right now, about 70 cents a piece, very, very good. And there's even some watermelon coming in out of Texas, very sweet and flavorful for this time of the year. So there's a lot of fruit to choose from, so don't think about, oh, there's no peaches, I'm not going to eat any fruit. Go out and eat some good fruit this week. For Eyewitness News. I'm Terry potassium.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796#t=41.56,163.48"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796/transcript/89964/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 2:\u003c/strong\u003e China. Ever since Marco Polo in the Middle Ages, Westerners have been fascinated with the economic opportunities in the middle kingdom. The modern world is no different. Western businessmen dream of making millions selling one aspirin, one ballpoint, or one calculator to each of China's more than one billion people. The new China is now open for business, But it's not the passive consumer colony of that fantasy. It's the middle of a late September Saturday night in downtown Beijing. The Chinese armed forces are on parade, rehearsing for their first full-scale military display in 25 years. Since the 60s, when the Soviets cut off military aid, the Chinese have been busy behind their bamboo curtain. Now they're ready to show the world their new arsenal of cruise surface-to-air and intercontinental missiles, the latter capable of carrying a five-megaton nuclear warhead to Moscow. Out. So China is indeed a land of multiple contradictions, a country committed to coming of age in the modern world, but also carrying the weight of its recent history. Much of that history centers on one man, Mao Tse-tung, the fountainhead of the Chinese Revolution. The Chinese government now admits that Chairman Mao made many mistakes, but he's still considered a great national hero, and millions come here every year to visit his shrine. Mao's number one mistake must have been the cultural revolution. For almost a decade, beginning in the mid-60s, Mao disrupted the development of his country. With an ideological crusade, the Chinese consensus now equates with chaos. Millions were taken from their homes and worked to rectify their politics. John Chung is one. A bright, articulate young man of 32, John now works for the China International Travel Service in Beijing. At the age of seven, he was studying Russian. Plans to go to college, perhaps pursue a diplomatic career. But at 15, the Cultural Revolution swept through his life, and he was forced to work the next 12 years on a farm in Manchuria. He lost his chance to go college, but now he's free to speak his mind.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796#t=181.91,313.69"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796/transcript/89964/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 3:\u003c/strong\u003e The intellectual revolution now is considered a ten-year disaster.

And it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white as long as it catches mice. That may sound obvious, but during the latter days of Mao's reign, the most important thing was whether the cat was pure red. So now China is committed to its so-called Four Modernizations program.

When Mao was in power, China's great leaps forward were built on the backs of the country's rural peasants. The focus was on developing the country heavy industry, often at the expense of the individual and his living standard. The current drive to modernize is different. Agriculture and light industry are the priorities, and the accent is on improving housing and consumer markets, even if that delays industrial growth. With more than one billion Mao's to feed, it's hard to argue with a plan that recognizes farming as the country number one job.

In October, the Chinese government announced dramatic changes in its state price system. In the past, price control subsidies have eaten up to 40% of the national budget. Now the prices on half of all state-controlled goods will be free to fluctuate according to supply and demand. Some experts say the price of rice and flour could double. Rents could rise to four times their current rate. China is willing to risk the dangers of inflation and even unemployment because the leadership believes it must do something to overcome the current state of inefficiency in industry. Agriculture is their ace in the hole. In 1979, Chinese agriculture was stagnating. Gross output had increased only 84% in the 21 years since the establishment of the people's communes. So the Chinese leadership adopted a radical new system. Which gave the individual household within a commune a lot more freedom and responsibility. The new responsibility system promised higher pay for hard work. Peasants were encouraged to enlarge their private plots and pursue sideline occupations to increase their income. The results have been surprisingly successful. In five years, agricultural output has doubled. China now leads the world in the production of grain and cotton. Individual farm income has also doubled, even allowing for inflation. These are school children at Lushan, a big farm commune near Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province. By Chinese standards, they and their families are living the good life. More than 2,300 people live and work here in 526 households. Eighty percent have new housing and most of those homes have televisions, sewing machines, washers, bicycles and new furniture. Independence and local control are the new watchwords on the communes. The children still study communism in the village schools, but Christianity is officially tolerated. No one knows for sure how many Christians practice in China. The China Daily says there are about two million. Western missionaries claim at least ten times that number.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796#t=643.17,780.48"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796/transcript/89964/annotation/19","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 3:\u003c/strong\u003e How do you know?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796#t=781.46,782.4"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796/transcript/89964/annotation/20","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 2:\u003c/strong\u003e That's nothing compared to the number of free enterprisers in the Chinese countryside. It's not to say China is abandoning its socialist system. The state still develops an overall agricultural production plan, the land is still owned collectively, and the commune owns the major farm implements and irrigation facilities. But the individual households contract with the communes to farm certain tracts. Family income depends on efficiency and the ability to generate a surplus, both from collective lands and individual plots. At Luzhan, for example, the commune produces 600,000 kilograms of rice annually. The state takes just over 10 percent, about 65,000 kilos. Another 470,000 kilos go to feed the workers and their families. The rest is profit to be sold at markets in the cities. Perhaps the best illustration of the new China is the emergence of free markets here in the capital, Beijing. The free markets offer a direct link between producer and consumer that bypasses the official state market system. With the government moving in the direction of a market economy, they're likely to proliferate in the future. The government also sponsors its own markets in the cities where cash crops are sold to the general public. It's not clear what the future holds for these markets where prices are generally subsidized by the government. What is clear is that for the first time, China is experiencing income gaps between classes of workers. And between individual families on collective farms. Some farm families are said to make six times as much as others. But the government maintains those disparities are fundamentally different than the classes in capitalist countries resulting from private ownership of farms and factories. At Nushan, the average annual income is about 1,200 Chinese yuan per worker. Much of that comes from light industry. Gushan has about 1,100 able-bodied workers. Only 400 work in the fields. 700 are employed in the village factories. Those include a paper box factory, a brick and tile factory, wooden furniture factory, and a small sawmill. Many older people work at crafts like weaving and braiding, which also bring in cash for the commune and its households. 71-Year-old Zhen Yu Guang is cultivating a pillow tree in one of Lushan's fields. Branches of the tree are used for weaving. Zhen is filling in for his son, who he tells us is not feeling well. Zhen himself appears to be the picture of good health, a good symbol for the vitality of Chinese agriculture. We asked him how he likes his life down on the farm. His answer, yes, he's happy, but he'd also like to have some more help with his work. Chinese, apparently, are not all that different from you or I. Bob Zagorin, Eyewitness News at Lushan Village in Fujian, China. For centuries, the Chinese have built walls. More than 2,000 years ago, they built the Great Wall to keep out roving Mongolian tribes. After the Communist Revolution, they established bureaucratic walls to keep out Western capitalism. Now the communists themselves are blasting big holes in those ideological barriers. Chinese have decided that they just don't work. In the 50s, China's economic planning structure was directly transplanted from the Soviet Union. The dominant feature was a national plan dictated from the top. All profits went to the state. All losses were covered out of the national treasury. The result was inefficiency, waste, and uneven growth, according to the current party leadership. These days, the national newspapers are filled with articles criticizing the country's transportation, communication, and industrial systems. The accent is on reform within the overall socialist system of public ownership. Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang has been a leader in granting individual factories the authority to make their own management decisions. In fact, the government has now announced that state production quotas will be removed for more than half the nation's agricultural and industrial goods. Much of the state's central planning apparatus will be junked, and production will be at the mercy of supply and demand. The Chinese have high hopes for their new free enterprise reforms. Those hopes are based in part on successful experiments at the local level. Welcome to the Comprehensive Timber Processing Collective in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province. The collective is actually eight plants. One is a sawmill, which produces railroad ties for the expansion of the Chinese rail system, a national priority. The plant is well laid out, according to Oregon experts. But the technology is so primitive, the plant can only produce about 80,000 board feet a day. Right now, Oregon mills fill much of China's need for railroad ties. Many come from the north side mill in Philomath, which is capable of producing more than 500,000 board feet of ties each day.

At the furniture factory workers are paid a salary plus a piecework bonus. It's not uncommon to see couples working overtime to supplement their take-home pay. The plant manager told us the factory has doubled its earnings this year under the new incentive system. But China needs more than increased production from its own industry if its plans are to succeed. It must dramatically increase trade and investment with the outside world. A key factor in China's new economic policy is joint ventures with foreign corporations. This one is with the Japanese Hitachi Corporation in Fuzhou. Opened in 1981, this Hitachi plant was one of China's first joint venturs, and it truly is a joint venture. Transistors and electronics come from Japan. Color picture tubes are made in Xi'an, China. 1,000 workers earn about 150 Chinese yuan a month, plus a safety bonus which adds another 50. The workers belong to an official labor union, the Fujian Hitachi Union. Under the current contract, 50% of Hitachi's gross profit goes to the union to help build more housing and take care of other social needs. Employees work a six-day, 48-hour week with two 10-minute rest periods each day. They also receive a one-week training course at company expense.

Those zones now accomplish double duty for the Chinese government. During the first six months of 1984, they brought in more than half of China foreign investment. On $260 million.

September 25, 1984, Oregon Governor Vic Attea and Hu Ping, the governor of China's Fujian province, officially establish a sister state relationship at a signing ceremony in Fuzhou. The state of Oregon is far from a pioneer when it comes to building bridges to the People's Republic. In fact, Oregon is the 24th American state or city to establish official friendship ties with mainland China.

Portland business interests at first were after an economic link with Canton, a bustling Chinese city across from Hong Kong. They lost out to Los Angeles. Later when a Lane County delegation led by State Senator Bill Fry and County Commissioner Jerry Rust returned from Fujian, Governor Attia at first wasn't interested. But Fujin was China's choice for the marriage and with good reason. As we told you earlier, China has been establishing special economic zones in its coastal provinces to serve as conduits for Western technology and economic development. Fujian is one focus of that effort. For years, China allowed Fujian's economy to lag. The emphasis was on the military in Fujian because it faced Taiwan across the narrow Pacific Straits. Well, now China wants more economic development here, in part to serve as a base for future ties with Taiwan. There are already two special economic zones in Fujian. One is at Maui, a port facility on the Min River near Fuzhou. The other at Zai Min, another major port on the southern coast of Fujian province. The Chinese government has already authorized the managers of these special zones to offer foreign firms a higher rate of profit on their ventures. They've also promised to upgrade the cities associated with the zones to make them attractive places for foreigners to live and work. Perhaps best of all...

In forestry, the agreements called for cooperation to upgrade the technology and equipment in local saw mills. They also target improvements in hardwood drying and wood chip production. And they point to two proposed joint ventures. One would be a knock-down furniture plant utilizing particle board, the other a thick craft paper manufacturing plant. For its part, Fujin has agreed to consider increased imports of Oregon timber products. In agriculture, there are plans to develop a poultry slaughterhouse in Fujian to improve the provincial pasture lands and to introduce new breeds of beef cattle. As for high tech, one possible joint venture would involve the manufacture of integrated circuits. Another project would be a quick freeze food stuff factory in Fuzhou. There are also promises to develop high level trade, science, culture, and educational missions in the near future. And while there's no doubt the economic opportunities are the main attraction in Fujian, the province has more to offer than just a chance to make some money. You're looking at the Fujian Provincial Peking Opera Troupe putting on a special show for Governor Atiya and the Oregon delegation. Their acrobatic version of the Chinese classical story, the real and fake Monkey King, is truly a treat and one that could show up in Oregon, even at the Holt Center, if a cultural exchange is completed. There's also Chinese medicine, including acupuncture. Chinese have perfected their procedures over thousands of years. And many Westerners, including world-class athletes, are now making use of those techniques. Finally, Fujian, like Oregon, is a province filled with beautiful sights to see. Eighty percent of the land is covered with mountains or forests. There are many rivers, lakes, and a long, beautiful coastline dotted with islands. That coastline produces almost every kind of seafood imaginable, making Fujianese cuisine one of the richest in China. There are also dozens of temples and religious shrines, and finally, there are the people. Bob Zagorin, Eyewitness News, Fuzhou, China.

Seized during the Opium Wars of the 19th century, the so-called jewel of Asian capitalism will finally be reunited with the communist mainland in 1997. For the Chinese, the Hong Kong Declaration leaves only the Taiwan question to complete their drive for national reunification. Everywhere we went in China, officials raised the question of Taiwan. For the Chinese, Taiwan is a matter of the heart. Taiwan is important to Oregon's future relations with the Chinese for several reasons. The Nationalist Chinese are already an important trading partner.

In 1983 alone, Japan purchased over $7 billion worth of logs, lumber, and other wood items. Much of that comes from the Northwest. Unfortunately, the future appears clouded. More than 1,000 Japanese mills went bankrupt in 1983, and the Japanese government is resisting American efforts to win reductions in its tough tariff system. Japanese blame much of the problem on a decline in their home building industry. Before the oil crisis, Japan built about 2 million homes a year. Now the number is closer to 1 million, and only half the homes in Japan are made of wood. In addition, the cost of land and construction has put the price of a new home out of reach for most Japanese families. Here at the Chiba Housing Project in the suburb one hour east of Tokyo, the Kawa Real Estate Company is working on its fourth subdivision. First three sold out. But the price tag for these small two-bedroom homes is some 36 million yen. That's about 150,000 American dollars. 60% of the cost is for land, a valuable commodity in overcrowded Tokyo. Even with government-subsidized loan programs and a standard 20% down payment, the average Japanese family would have to commit 2 thirds of its monthly paycheck to the mortgage. And that's just part of the problem for Northwest Mills. Hoping to pick up some of their domestic slack with Japanese exports. Another obstacle is tradition. The Japanese use substantial amounts of Northwest timber, particularly fir and hemlock in the beams, posts, and other structural parts of the house. But for the living areas, they prefer traditional hardwoods like Japanese cypress. And then there's the question of price in government regulation. In. Here at the Sato sawmill in Shin-Kiba, Tokyo's lumber town, most of the 30 employees have been on the job more than 25 years. There is no union, but the workers are considered something of an extended family. Two years ago, when the sawmill shifted from processing logs to remanufactured lumber, not one worker lost their job. But the Sado mill and others like it appear to be a dying breed here in Japan. Economic factors like the cost of land and raw materials are squeezing their profit margins. Sato used to buy much of his western red cedar from Washington State Forest. That is before the state slapped a ban on raw log exports.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796#t=2372.55,2521.04"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796/transcript/89964/annotation/66","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 15:\u003c/strong\u003e Because of the export ban from the state of Washington, that affected us very much.

One company that appears to be doing quite well exporting logs and lumber to Japan is Warehouser. The Northwest timber giant now ships some six billion board feed a year over here. But overall, the customs clearance figures at the Tokyo Lumber Terminal tell an all-too-familiar story. Almost four-fifths of the imports come from Canada, only one-fift from the Northwest, and just one-twentieth from Oregon. Can we do better?

Well, now that the election is finally over, we can get down to some really serious business, and that is the eating and buying of fresh fruits and vegetables. And what more appropriate thing for me to talk about this week than fall fruit season and winter fruit season. Now, it's a little discouraging. There's no peaches and there's no nectarines right now, but there are a lot of good values in the market, in fruit. Apples, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, New Towns, Granny Smiths. Apples have been very good this year, very good prices, depending on size, and the small apples right now are as good as the large apples. I aforementioned, pears have been good. We're into Boss pears, D'Angio pears. And a new pear on the market right now, the French Comise pear, which is a very buttery flavored pear. It's excellent eating out of the hand, and it's also a very good pear to cook with. That's a Comise Pear, very reasonably priced. These are out of Medford. Now, there's no seedless grapes on the market, but there are calmyra grapes, which are a green grape with a little bit of a seed in them, but they are very sweet. They're running about a dollar a pound. Hass avocados are on the mark now year-round. They do cost more money this time of year, as it is not their season. But they're a much better value than the other green-skinned avocados which cost less but do not offer the same flavor. So, always buy the Haas avocado when you can. There are some other buys on the market this week in the fruit department I want to mention. Kiwi fruit out of California, very reasonably priced about a dollar to a dollar and a half a pound. Grapefruit out of Florida Indian River, all sizes, very flavorful and sweet right now. New crop of navel oranges, excellent, 69 cents a pound out of california.

Ever since Marco Polo in the Middle Ages, Westerners have been fascinated with the economic opportunities in the middle kingdom. The modern world is no different. Western businessmen dream of making millions selling one aspirin, one ballpoint, or one calculator to each of China's more than one billion people. The new China is now open for business, But it's not the passive consumer colony of that fantasy. It's the middle of a late September Saturday night in downtown Beijing. The Chinese armed forces are on parade, rehearsing for their first full-scale military display in 25 years. Since the 60s, when the Soviets cut off military aid, the Chinese have been busy behind their bamboo curtain. Now they're ready to show the world their new arsenal of cruise surface-to-air and intercontinental missiles, the latter capable of carrying a five-megaton nuclear warhead to Moscow. Out. So China is indeed a land of multiple contradictions, a country committed to coming of age in the modern world, but also carrying the weight of its recent history. Much of that history centers on one man, Mao Tse-tung, the fountainhead of the Chinese Revolution. The Chinese government now admits that Chairman Mao made many mistakes, but he's still considered a great national hero, and millions come here every year to visit his shrine. Mao's number one mistake must have been the cultural revolution. For almost a decade, beginning in the mid-60s, Mao disrupted the development of his country. With an ideological crusade, the Chinese consensus now equates with chaos. Millions were taken from their homes and worked to rectify their politics. John Chung is one. A bright, articulate young man of 32, John now works for the China International Travel Service in Beijing. At the age of seven, he was studying Russian. Plans to go to college, perhaps pursue a diplomatic career. But at 15, the Cultural Revolution swept through his life, and he was forced to work the next 12 years on a farm in Manchuria. He lost his chance to go college, but now he's free to speak his mind.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796#t=181.91,313.69"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796/transcript/90024/annotation/80","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 3:\u003c/strong\u003e The intellectual revolution now is considered a ten-year disaster.

The focus was on developing the country heavy industry, often at the expense of the individual and his living standard. The current drive to modernize is different. Agriculture and light industry are the priorities, and the accent is on improving housing and consumer markets, even if that delays industrial growth. With more than one billion Mao's to feed, it's hard to argue with a plan that recognizes farming as the country number one job.

In October, the Chinese government announced dramatic changes in its state price system. In the past, price control subsidies have eaten up to 40% of the national budget. Now the prices on half of all state-controlled goods will be free to fluctuate according to supply and demand. Some experts say the price of rice and flour could double. Rents could rise to four times their current rate. China is willing to risk the dangers of inflation and even unemployment because the leadership believes it must do something to overcome the current state of inefficiency in industry. Agriculture is their ace in the hole. In 1979, Chinese agriculture was stagnating. Gross output had increased only 84% in the 21 years since the establishment of the people's communes. So the Chinese leadership adopted a radical new system. Which gave the individual household within a commune a lot more freedom and responsibility. The new responsibility system promised higher pay for hard work. Peasants were encouraged to enlarge their private plots and pursue sideline occupations to increase their income. The results have been surprisingly successful. In five years, agricultural output has doubled. China now leads the world in the production of grain and cotton. Individual farm income has also doubled, even allowing for inflation. These are school children at Lushan, a big farm commune near Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province. By Chinese standards, they and their families are living the good life. More than 2,300 people live and work here in 526 households. Eighty percent have new housing and most of those homes have televisions, sewing machines, washers, bicycles and new furniture. Independence and local control are the new watchwords on the communes. The children still study communism in the village schools, but Christianity is officially tolerated. No one knows for sure how many Christians practice in China. The China Daily says there are about two million. Western missionaries claim at least ten times that number.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796#t=643.17,780.48"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796/transcript/90024/annotation/96","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 3:\u003c/strong\u003e How do you know?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796#t=781.46,782.4"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796/transcript/90024/annotation/97","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 2:\u003c/strong\u003e That's nothing compared to the number of free enterprisers in the Chinese countryside. It's not to say China is abandoning its socialist system. The state still develops an overall agricultural production plan, the land is still owned collectively, and the commune owns the major farm implements and irrigation facilities. But the individual households contract with the communes to farm certain tracts. Family income depends on efficiency and the ability to generate a surplus, both from collective lands and individual plots. At Luzhan, for example, the commune produces 600,000 kilograms of rice annually. The state takes just over 10 percent, about 65,000 kilos. Another 470,000 kilos go to feed the workers and their families. The rest is profit to be sold at markets in the cities. Perhaps the best illustration of the new China is the emergence of free markets here in the capital, Beijing. The free markets offer a direct link between producer and consumer that bypasses the official state market system. With the government moving in the direction of a market economy, they're likely to proliferate in the future. The government also sponsors its own markets in the cities where cash crops are sold to the general public. It's not clear what the future holds for these markets where prices are generally subsidized by the government. What is clear is that for the first time, China is experiencing income gaps between classes of workers. And between individual families on collective farms. Some farm families are said to make six times as much as others. But the government maintains those disparities are fundamentally different than the classes in capitalist countries resulting from private ownership of farms and factories. At Nushan, the average annual income is about 1,200 Chinese yuan per worker. Much of that comes from light industry. Gushan has about 1,100 able-bodied workers. Only 400 work in the fields. 700 are employed in the village factories. Those include a paper box factory, a brick and tile factory, wooden furniture factory, and a small sawmill. Many older people work at crafts like weaving and braiding, which also bring in cash for the commune and its households. 71-Year-old Zhen Yu Guang is cultivating a pillow tree in one of Lushan's fields. Branches of the tree are used for weaving. Zhen is filling in for his son, who he tells us is not feeling well. Zhen himself appears to be the picture of good health, a good symbol for the vitality of Chinese agriculture. We asked him how he likes his life down on the farm. His answer, yes, he's happy, but he'd also like to have some more help with his work. Chinese, apparently, are not all that different from you or I. Bob Zagorin, Eyewitness News at Lushan Village in Fujian, China. For centuries, the Chinese have built walls. More than 2,000 years ago, they built the Great Wall to keep out roving Mongolian tribes. After the Communist Revolution, they established bureaucratic walls to keep out Western capitalism. Now the communists themselves are blasting big holes in those ideological barriers. Chinese have decided that they just don't work. In the 50s, China's economic planning structure was directly transplanted from the Soviet Union. The dominant feature was a national plan dictated from the top. All profits went to the state. All losses were covered out of the national treasury. The result was inefficiency, waste, and uneven growth, according to the current party leadership. These days, the national newspapers are filled with articles criticizing the country's transportation, communication, and industrial systems. The accent is on reform within the overall socialist system of public ownership. Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang has been a leader in granting individual factories the authority to make their own management decisions. In fact, the government has now announced that state production quotas will be removed for more than half the nation's agricultural and industrial goods. Much of the state's central planning apparatus will be junked, and production will be at the mercy of supply and demand. The Chinese have high hopes for their new free enterprise reforms. Those hopes are based in part on successful experiments at the local level. Welcome to the Comprehensive Timber Processing Collective in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province. The collective is actually eight plants. One is a sawmill, which produces railroad ties for the expansion of the Chinese rail system, a national priority. The plant is well laid out, according to Oregon experts. But the technology is so primitive, the plant can only produce about 80,000 board feet a day. Right now, Oregon mills fill much of China's need for railroad ties. Many come from the north side mill in Philomath, which is capable of producing more than 500,000 board feet of ties each day. Management of the mill in Fuzhou would like to use incentives to increase production, but here the bottleneck is technology, not labor productivity. The government has now authorized local authorities to import the sawmill technology it needs. Alan Struthers of the US trading company based in Eugene is one Oregonian involved in those negotiations.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796#t=784.04,1124.49"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796/transcript/90024/annotation/98","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 7:\u003c/strong\u003e I came over here with somewhat kind of a negative attitude, thinking that it might be like it was a couple years ago.

At the furniture factory workers are paid a salary plus a piecework bonus. It's not uncommon to see couples working overtime to supplement their take-home pay. The plant manager told us the factory has doubled its earnings this year under the new incentive system. But China needs more than increased production from its own industry if its plans are to succeed. It must dramatically increase trade and investment with the outside world. A key factor in China's new economic policy is joint ventures with foreign corporations. This one is with the Japanese Hitachi Corporation in Fuzhou. Opened in 1981, this Hitachi plant was one of China's first joint venturs, and it truly is a joint venture. Transistors and electronics come from Japan. Color picture tubes are made in Xi'an, China. 1,000 workers earn about 150 Chinese yuan a month, plus a safety bonus which adds another 50. The workers belong to an official labor union, the Fujian Hitachi Union. Under the current contract, 50% of Hitachi's gross profit goes to the union to help build more housing and take care of other social needs. Employees work a six-day, 48-hour week with two 10-minute rest periods each day. They also receive a one-week training course at company expense.

Portland business interests at first were after an economic link with Canton, a bustling Chinese city across from Hong Kong. They lost out to Los Angeles. Later when a Lane County delegation led by State Senator Bill Fry and County Commissioner Jerry Rust returned from Fujian, Governor Attia at first wasn't interested. But Fujin was China's choice for the marriage and with good reason. As we told you earlier, China has been establishing special economic zones in its coastal provinces to serve as conduits for Western technology and economic development. Fujian is one focus of that effort. For years, China allowed Fujian's economy to lag. The emphasis was on the military in Fujian because it faced Taiwan across the narrow Pacific Straits. Well, now China wants more economic development here, in part to serve as a base for future ties with Taiwan. There are already two special economic zones in Fujian. One is at Maui, a port facility on the Min River near Fuzhou. The other at Zai Min, another major port on the southern coast of Fujian province. The Chinese government has already authorized the managers of these special zones to offer foreign firms a higher rate of profit on their ventures. They've also promised to upgrade the cities associated with the zones to make them attractive places for foreigners to live and work. Perhaps best of all... The central government in Beijing has given local officials the green light to go ahead and make deals without involving the bureaucracy. John Anderson, the director of Oregon's economic development department, believes that could be the key that unlocks the Chinese door.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796#t=1394.8,1491.57"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796/transcript/90024/annotation/105","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 4:\u003c/strong\u003e If what they're attempting works, and I think we should hope very much that it works, they are going to build themselves into a remarkable trading partner for us.

In forestry, the agreements called for cooperation to upgrade the technology and equipment in local saw mills. They also target improvements in hardwood drying and wood chip production. And they point to two proposed joint ventures. One would be a knock-down furniture plant utilizing particle board, the other a thick craft paper manufacturing plant. For its part, Fujin has agreed to consider increased imports of Oregon timber products. In agriculture, there are plans to develop a poultry slaughterhouse in Fujian to improve the provincial pasture lands and to introduce new breeds of beef cattle. As for high tech, one possible joint venture would involve the manufacture of integrated circuits. Another project would be a quick freeze food stuff factory in Fuzhou. There are also promises to develop high level trade, science, culture, and educational missions in the near future. And while there's no doubt the economic opportunities are the main attraction in Fujian, the province has more to offer than just a chance to make some money. You're looking at the Fujian Provincial Peking Opera Troupe putting on a special show for Governor Atiya and the Oregon delegation. Their acrobatic version of the Chinese classical story, the real and fake Monkey King, is truly a treat and one that could show up in Oregon, even at the Holt Center, if a cultural exchange is completed. There's also Chinese medicine, including acupuncture. Chinese have perfected their procedures over thousands of years. And many Westerners, including world-class athletes, are now making use of those techniques. Finally, Fujian, like Oregon, is a province filled with beautiful sights to see. Eighty percent of the land is covered with mountains or forests. There are many rivers, lakes, and a long, beautiful coastline dotted with islands. That coastline produces almost every kind of seafood imaginable, making Fujianese cuisine one of the richest in China. There are also dozens of temples and religious shrines, and finally, there are the people. Bob Zagorin, Eyewitness News, Fuzhou, China. Hong Kong harbors, September 27, 1984, Her Majesty's naval forces are celebrating the Sino-British Declaration on the future of that crown colony. Seized during the Opium Wars of the 19th century, the so-called jewel of Asian capitalism will finally be reunited with the communist mainland in 1997. For the Chinese, the Hong Kong Declaration leaves only the Taiwan question to complete their drive for national reunification. Everywhere we went in China, officials raised the question of Taiwan. For the Chinese, Taiwan is a matter of the heart. Taiwan is important to Oregon's future relations with the Chinese for several reasons. The Nationalist Chinese are already an important trading partner.

In 1983 alone, Japan purchased over $7 billion worth of logs, lumber, and other wood items. Much of that comes from the Northwest. Unfortunately, the future appears clouded. More than 1,000 Japanese mills went bankrupt in 1983, and the Japanese government is resisting American efforts to win reductions in its tough tariff system. Japanese blame much of the problem on a decline in their home building industry. Before the oil crisis, Japan built about 2 million homes a year. Now the number is closer to 1 million, and only half the homes in Japan are made of wood. In addition, the cost of land and construction has put the price of a new home out of reach for most Japanese families. Here at the Chiba Housing Project in the suburb one hour east of Tokyo, the Kawa Real Estate Company is working on its fourth subdivision. First three sold out. But the price tag for these small two-bedroom homes is some 36 million yen. That's about 150,000 American dollars. 60% of the cost is for land, a valuable commodity in overcrowded Tokyo. Even with government-subsidized loan programs and a standard 20% down payment, the average Japanese family would have to commit 2 thirds of its monthly paycheck to the mortgage. And that's just part of the problem for Northwest Mills. Hoping to pick up some of their domestic slack with Japanese exports. Another obstacle is tradition. The Japanese use substantial amounts of Northwest timber, particularly fir and hemlock in the beams, posts, and other structural parts of the house. But for the living areas, they prefer traditional hardwoods like Japanese cypress. And then there's the question of price in government regulation. In. Here at the Sato sawmill in Shin-Kiba, Tokyo's lumber town, most of the 30 employees have been on the job more than 25 years. There is no union, but the workers are considered something of an extended family. Two years ago, when the sawmill shifted from processing logs to remanufactured lumber, not one worker lost their job. But the Sado mill and others like it appear to be a dying breed here in Japan. Economic factors like the cost of land and raw materials are squeezing their profit margins. Sato used to buy much of his western red cedar from Washington State Forest. That is before the state slapped a ban on raw log exports.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796#t=2372.55,2521.04"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1635/collection_resources/70845/file/156796/transcript/90024/annotation/143","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 15:\u003c/strong\u003e Because of the export ban from the state of Washington, that affected us very much.

Federal law prohibits the export of raw or unprocessed logs from the national forest. So many companies cut one side of the log and export what are commonly known as cants. One company that appears to be doing quite well exporting logs and lumber to Japan is Warehouser. The Northwest timber giant now ships some six billion board feed a year over here. But overall, the customs clearance figures at the Tokyo Lumber Terminal tell an all-too-familiar story. Almost four-fifths of the imports come from Canada, only one-fift from the Northwest, and just one-twentieth from Oregon. Can we do better?
