Chinese sourcing

The vitamin D2 volume is estimated at only 1200 kg/yr, exclusive of Chinese sources. 

Prices. The price of antimony metal has declined steadily since 1984. The principal reason for the fall in antimony prices is the oversupply of material, especially from Chinese sources, in relation to demand, which has been stable or decreasing during the 1980s. Antimony prices have fallen to such an extent that some producers of antimony products now find it more economical to use antimony metal as feed material in place of antimony ore and concentrates. 

The term Batak appears even earlier in Chinese sources, but as a polity rather than a people. Chau Ju-kua (1970) has an obscure reference to Bo-ta as connected with Sriwijaya, while the Yuan (Mongol) dynastic chronicle mentions Ma-da next to Samudra (Pasai), both offering tribute to the imperial court in 1285-6. Ma-da would be pronounced Ba-ta in Hokkien, the likely language of trader informants.2... 

Chinese sourcing and production functions should also be integrated into the company s global setup. This may require rethinking both networks, but defining an optimal global footprint from the outset helps avoid internal battles for capacity utilization as Chinese-produced sales cannibalize their western counterparts.

A 17th century Chinese source describes this process as "fire and water stimulate each other to make the best quality bricks" (Yinxing, 1637). The element hydrogen was unknown until the 19th century. Processes like (2.44) involving H2 are in use today for the production of a range of materials. 

Antimony trioxide [1309-64-4] M 291,5, m 656". Dissolve the trioxide in the minimum volume of dilute HCl, filter, and add six volumes of water to precipitate the basic antimonous chloride (free from Fe and Sb205). The precipitate is redissolved in dilute HCl, and added slowly, with stirring, to a boiling solution (containing a slight excess) of Na2C03. The oxide is filtered off, washed with hot water, then boiled and filtered. The process is repeated until the filtrate gives no test for chloride ions. The product is dried in a vacuum desiccator [Schuhmann J Am Chem Soc 46 52 7924]. After one crystallisation (precipitation ), the oxide from a Chinese source had metal (ppm) Al (8), Ag (0.2), As (56), Cr (6), Ge (0.4), Mn (0.2), Na (16), Ni...

Stemmed from the belief that Vietnam was an ideal test case for Mao s revolutionary ideology. But Chinese sources suggest that from 1964 to 1965, increased U.S. intervention in Vietnam also seriously heightened the Chinese leadership s paranoia because it proved that Mao s previous belief that the United States was a vacillating power was wrong. This in turn had domestic implications, because the sense of external threat led Mao to his attempt to secure the Chinese revolution sufficiently that China could better counter a large-scale U.S. campaign in Southeast Asia. ... 

Chinese sources that Kissinger had given the Chinese a complete rundown of the dislocation of Soviet forces on the Chinese border, as well as of the location of Soviet missile installations. Kissinger denied it. See Memcon, 9 March 1972, Box 493, NSF, NPM, p. 3. 

A new type of intumescent additive is expandable graphite. This material has already found uses as a special effect pigment due to its metallic sheen and grey-black colour. Nord-Min has been developed by suppliers Nordmann Rassmann with flame retarding of plastics in mind. It is a halogen-free fire barrier additive from Chinese sources, based on natural graphite flakes with... 

Chinese reports allege that the Japanese employed gas in China from 18 July 1937 to 8 May 1945. They also allege that the Japanese used diphenylchloroarsine (DA), diphenylcyanoarsine (DC), chloro-acetophenone (CN), chloropicrin, hydrogen cyanide, phosgene, mustard and lewisite. By the end of 1941, Chinese sources claim that over 1000 gas attacks had been delivered. Although the statistics are not necessarily reliable (since there are discrepancies between the various reports), the data from the Chinese Gas Defence Department reveals an interesting pattern of usage ... 

As one might expect, the Chinese are bitterly indignant over Japan s use of CW in World War II, but also shifts some of the blame onto the United States. One Chinese source on the topic notes that, despite Roosevelt s warning to Japan in 1942 over their use of such weapons against the Chinese, the United States never did take measures to retaliate in kind. ... 

There is also a general tendency to consider biomedical publications from Chinese sources as of inferior quality, which consequently should not be taken seriously. However, in my opinion, the most common flaw in pub-hcations on natmal products, a good amount from advanced countries, is the failure of the investigators to identify correctly and quality control the material they are studying. 

The Japanese also used mustard for filling shells and bombs, primarily as a 50 50 mixture with Lewisite to lower the freezing point. Examples of Japanese chemical munitions are Artillery shells, 150 mm and 105 mm and Mortar rounds 90 mm, filled with either mustard gas /Lewisite mixture or diphenylcyanoarsine, and Artillery shells 75 mm filled with either phosgene or diphenylcyanoarsine. In addition there were 15 kg and 60 kg aerial bombs, toxic smoke candles and canisters filled with diphenylcyanoarsine. [12] Japan is estimated to have produced a total of around 1.7 million CW bombs and shells, and 5.7 million chemical candles and grenades. One source quotes the total amount of chemical munitions produced by Japan, regardless of agent fill, as approximately 7.4 million.[20] As already stated in an earlier paragraph, Chinese sources estimate that approximately 2 million of these rounds were abandoned in Northern China.[7]...
