For our purpose new economic centers are defined as those vigorously developed in Communist China prior to the economic crisis in 1960-62, but not necessarily completely new industrial centers. They consist of 26 cities included in categories A-II and B-II in Table 4-8 and B2, B3, B4, B5, and B8 in Table 4-3 (excluding Soochow and Kuei-yang, which are predominantly nonindustrial).
