SUMMARY:China's Natural Rubber Plantation in the 1950s: A Global View
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\nIn t
 he 1950s\, China started its road towards becoming a major natural rubber 
 producer with huge fluctuations and costs. In response to the Western econ
 omic blockade\, China and the Soviet Union started it as the alleged secon
 d-largest joint economic item in 1951\, with an investment of 70 million r
 ubles. However\, the evolution of the global economic cold war since the e
 nd of 1952 resulted in a dramatic shrinkage of this Sino-Soviet cooperatio
 n\, which in turn caused bilateral resentments and heavy losses on the sid
 e of China. Since then\, though the Soviet Union still maintained influenc
 es in some fields until the end of the 1950s\, this socialist enterprise r
 elied more and more on those elements related to the West and Southeast As
 ia\, even in the heyday of China’s socialist construction of the Great L
 eap Forward.
