COMMENTS:
1.
(SOURCE COMMENTS)
PROMINENT CHINESE
ECONOMISTS HAVE BEEN OPENLY CRITICAL OF THE
12 REFORM
MEASURES ENACTED DURING THE RECENT COMMUNIST PARTY
MEETING TO DECIDE HOW TO REINVIGORATE CHINA'S LOSS-
MAKING STATE ENTERPRISES
(SEE PARA 3A OF SUBJECT
REPORT)
.
RESEARCHERS FROM THE CHINESE ACADEMY OF SOCIAL
SCIENCES HAVE WARNED THAT THE REFORM MEASURES,
WHICH
PRIMARILY INVOLVE RENEWED CALLS FOR STATE-RUN
ENTERPRISES
TO RENOVATE THEIR PRODUCTION LINES AND
PRODUCT MIX AND IMPROVE THEIR MANAGEMENT,
WILL HAVE NO
PRACTICAL EFFECT
IF THESE ENTERPRISES ARE NOT GIVEN
MANAGEMENT AUTONOMY AND ENCOURAGED TO IMPORT FOREIGN
PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY AND REFORM THEIR MANAGEMENT.
THE
ECONOMISTS ARE MOST CONCERNED BECAUSE THE PARTY
CONTINUES
TO MEASURE ENTERPRISE SUCCESS BASED ON
PRODUCTION OUTPUT RATHER THAN PROFITS EARNED AND TAXES
PAID.
BECAUSE STATE INDUSTRIES ARE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE
TO PRODUCE HUGE QUANTITIES OF OBSOLETE UNWANTED GOODS,
THE CAMPAIGN TO MAKE
1991 THE "YEAR OF EFFICIENCY,
QUALITY, AND VARIETY" HAS FAILED COMPLETELY.
INDUSTRY
LEADERS HAVE NOT PRESSED FOR IMPROVED QUALITY PRODUCTS
OR A REVITALIZED PRODUCT MIX;
IN FACT THEY HAVE
CONTINUED TO BRAG ABOUT RECENT GROWTH IN TOTAL OUTPUT
VALUE WHILE NATIONAL STOCKPILES HAVE ALSO CONTINUED TO

GROW AT AN ALARMING RATE.
2.
THE STRATEGIC MISSILE FORCE SEEMS TO HAVE DEVELOPED
A MEASURE OF SENSITIVITY ABOUT THE LEVEL OF POLLUTION
ITS MISSILE AND NUCLEAR WARHEAD SITES MAY BE CAUSING TO
THEIR IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENTS.
THE SECOND ARTILLERY HAS
REPORTED DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
VEHICLE WHICH CAN QUICKLY DETECT AND EVALUATE POLLUTION
CAUSED
IN THE STORAGE AND EMPLOYMENT OF STRATEGIC
MISSILES AND NUCLEAR WEAPONS
(PARA 11B).
THE
1-15 OCT
91 DSTI REPORT CONTAINS AN ITEM (PARA 11F)
ON THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A PURIFIER TO BE ATTACHED TO LIQUID
PROPELLANT TANKERS ADDING FUEL TO STRATEGIC ROCKETS
STORED
IN MISSILE SILOS.
THE PURIFIER WAS DEVELOPED TO
INCREASE SAFETY TO CREWS
INVOLVED
IN SERVICING THE
MISSILES AND TO REDUCE POLLUTION AROUND THE SITES.
USUALLY SUCH DEVELOPMENTS ARE INSPIRED BY SERIOUS
ACCIDENTS AT THE SITES LEADING TO SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF
LIFE OR PERSONNEL INJURIES.
HOWEVER, NO SUCH ACCIDENTS
HAVE BEEN REPORTED
IN RECENT YEARS.
3.
AN
STD COMMENTARY ON NAVAL MODERNIZATION HAS
INTIMATED THAT THE PLA NAVY WILL UNDERGO A
REORGANIZATION TO "SHORTEN THE BATTLE LINE"
(PARA 11E).
THIS
IMPLIES THAT THE SIZE OF THE FORCE WILL BE REDUCED
TO FACILITATE MODERNIZATION OF THE REMAINING COMPONENTS.
THERE HAVE BEEN RUMORS OVER THE PAST
3 YEARS THAT THE
PLA WILL UNDERGO A 600,000
TO 750,000 MAN CUT FROM
ITS
CURRENT 3.2 MILLION STRENGTH TO RELEASE ADDITIONAL FUNDS
FOR FORCE MODERNIZATION.
SINCE THE NAVY'S STRENGTH IS
ALREADY LESS THAN 500,000,
THE CUTS
IN PERSONNEL CANNOT
BE GREAT;
HOWEVER,
THE NAVY COULD AFFORD TO GIVE UP A
LARGE NUMBER OF
ITS OBSOLETE "BROWN WATER" ELEMENTS
SUCH
AS PATROL BOATS AND CONVENTIONAL SUBMARINES.
THE NAVY
HAS ALWAYS PLAYED A VANGUARD ROLE
IN WEAPONS AND
EQUIPMENT MODERNIZATION AND WILL CONTINUE
TO MAINTAIN
ITS POSITION BY MOST EFFICIENT USE OF THE FUNDS AND
RESOURCES ALLOCATED TO
IT.
