Passage 2
 Zhangjiagang is a commercial hub of Jiangsu, the fastest-growing province in China. China has the most dynamic economy in the world today. Its boom radiates from Guangdong, its richest province, but it has spread as far west as Xingjiang, where foreign investors are searching for oil other natural resources. It is creeping inland, from Jiangsu to the cities of Congqing Wu-han, where businessmen from Hong Kong Taiwan are starting to spend billions of dollars to build factories. it has penetrated the northeast, where the city of Shengyan, long a moribund center of state industry, is bustling with new private business, from trading companies to prostitution. Back in Beijing, officials at China’s state council, or cabinet, are giddy with excite-ment-exhaustion. “We don’t have people, we don’t have time,” says one. “Things are moving too fast.”
After a slowdown through 1990, China’s economy bounced back mightily, reaching a recent peak of 13 per cent growth last year. Now, some Western experts are predicting that China could become the world’s dominant economy early in the 21st century.
