Pop. (1953 census) 166,000. Communist China began to enlarge the port in 1954, to create a major south-coast seaport, and in July 1955 completed a 200-mi. branch railway from Li-t’ang in Kwangsi to Chan-chiang. en 1967 Yuan-li Wu The Spatial Economy of Communist China https://archive.org/details/spatialeconomyof0000wuyu/ w:Frederick A. Praeger Publishers 67-20739 860169638 155 https://archive.org/details/spatialeconomyof0000wuyu/page/155/ Until 1957, military and connecting lines were proportionately more important in new railway construction than in later years. Military considerations also appeared to be an important factor in railway building prior to the "Great Leap" period. Of the four new military lines (Lai-pin to Mu-nan-kuan, Li-t'ang to Chan-chiang, Ying-t'an to Amoy, and Chi-ning to Erh-lien), the first two are clearly designed to provide logistic support for Chinese activities in Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam. The early completion of these lines supports the thesis that the Chinese Communist Party decided a decade or more ago to increase its influence in Southeast Asia. en 1974 D. J.

When completed, it not only will serve as the third link between mainland China and the Soviet Union but will also provide the Communist bloc with one more outlet to warm water, running diagonally across China to the great new seaport of Chan-chiang. en 1976 March JeNelle Matheson Construction Equipment A Market Assessment for the People's Republic of China https://archive.org/details/constructionequi00math/ w:U.S. Department of Commerce 2467783 8 https://archive.org/details/constructionequi00math/page/8 The channel at Chan-chiang is being dredged to a depth of 50 feet enabling tankers of 70,000 tons to call. en https://archive.org/details/CIA-RDP90-01137R000100050008-6/ 1977 China Oil Production Prospects w:CIA 31 The crude is transshipped from Chan-chiang by rail to the refinery at Mao-ming.
