Travel reports claim Mao era dispersals in Fukien province
Reports from travelers describe large scale dispersals of urban populations and factories from Fukien province toward rural areas across the Formosa Strait. Officials say the move supports transforming countryside into a vast base for people's war to counter Russian missile threats. They also allege a semiofficial pact between Russian revisionists and the Taiwan Kuomintang to attack the mainland and restore KMT control.
