This paper examines the development of the PRC's petroleum industry and 

 subjects to critical analysis some of the more authoritative U.S. academic, 

 industry, and government projections of China's petroleum reserves, produc- 

 tion, consumption, and exports, through 1980. The projections used in this 

 paper strike a balance among conflicting estimates that is consistent with the 

 data that have been released by Peking, with the limited foreign observation 

 of China's petroleum industry, and with Peking's apparent plans for the 

 utilization of its petroleum resources in the domestic economy and as the 

 principal source of foreign exchange during the Fifth Five Year Plan (1976- 

 80). Finally, the paper discusses the implications of China's projected petro- 

 leum prosperity for the country's economic development strategy, political 

 stability, and international relations.

Author suggests the United States might look at China as a model of how 

 to control economic growth in a world of increasing resource depletion and 

 increasing environmental concern.

Views China's approach to environmental decision making as primarily a 



political process and compares the Chinese method to that of other countries. 



The Chinese believe environmental degradation is due to the institutional 



framework of capitalist countries.

Most of the research programs on Solid State physics in China appeared 

 to be device-oriented or were chosen in areas with practical application. 

 "Almost always the engineering aspects were stressed, such as sample size, 

 diffusion temperature and alloy composition at the expense of consideration 

 at the atomic or molecular level."
