A well-known Chinese resident, Yun Wah, returned to Riverton last week after several years' absence in China. He informed the Western Star that there is a great advance in trade in China at the present time. The railway will soon be completed from Canton to Pekin, and this Avill open up the country considerably. He says large factories are springing up on all sides, and the iron and coal mines of the interior are being Avorked. The country is hardly ever free from risings, and in his own city of Canton, not long ago. there was a collision between the troops and Boxers, when over 200 of the latter were killed. Yun Wah has a great admiration for the British, vfho are investing large sums in fostering industries. He. is a doctor by profession, and a British subject, having come to this country 35 years ago. He intends to spend some time in New Zealand. Poverty Bay Herald, Volume XXXVIII, Issue 12515, 25 July 1911, Page 4
