Pronunciation po͞o′kō′Pukow or P’u-k’ou 1531 1 en Pu kou Proper noun en district sub-provincial city/Nanjing province/Jiangsu c/China. en 1934 October State Plants for Industrial Development in China The Far Eastern Review https://archive.org/details/far-eastern-review-1934.10/ Shanghai XXX 10 1767520 441 https://archive.org/details/far-eastern-review-1934.10/page/441/ 2 From the point of view of communication facilities, Pukou appeared to be a suitable site, but was found rather too accessible and therefore objectionable from the strategic viewpoint.[...]Moreover, the site is only about 50 kilometers by water from Pukou, which renders the transport of coal supplies fairly easy. Coal brought from the north by the Tientsin-Pukou Railway could be quickly transhipped to the steelworks from Pukou, and supplies from Pinghsiang, carried from Wuchang (via Yushan-Pinghsiang and Hunan-Hupeh Railway) or Kiukiang (via Yushan-Pinghsiang and Nanchang-Kiukiang Railway) would be available by water.The other possible site for the steelworks, Hsiehchiatien, lies in the district of Luho on the northern bank of the Yangtze, and is 20 kilometers from Pukou. The land between Pukou and Hsiehchiatien is very low, but the proposed site is surrounded by hills, and thus secure from the danger of being flooded. en 23 January 2015 Alan Yu Looks just like the real thing: bogus bank in China scams people of over 200 million yuan https://web.archive.org/web/20150125014157/https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1689855/looks-just-real-thing-bogus-bank-china-scams-people-over-200-million-yuan 25 January 2015 https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1689855/looks-just-real-thing-bogus-bank-china-scams-people-over-200-million-yuan w:South China Morning Post 1563-9371 648902513 China The “bank”, in Nanjing’s Pukou district in Jiangsu province, promised customers 2 per cent interest a week for their deposits.
