Also in August, an American house builder named Eli Broad visited five cities including Beijing and Guangzhou. He talked to a reporter from Hezhong International about his impression of China, "I saw an impressive underdeveloped country." "Chinese people use clay and straw to make bricks, but they also use some precast concrete slabs to build houses. China's housing is original, and the quality after construction is rough, but very practical. Often, a two-bedroom house requires four generations to live in, from an 80-year-old great-grandmother to a child." At the same time, Eli Broad also felt the changes that have just begun to happen: "Where I go, they are replacing tap pipes. Some new industrial areas are being built, but I don't see any measures to control pollution."

Yomiuri Shimbun Hong Kong reporter Matsunaga Nichihiro was also deeply surprised by the backwardness of Chinese companies. In June of that year, he visited an integrated circuit factory in Shanghai. He wrote: "The integrated circuit factory in Japan is so clean that it is not dusty at all. In contrast, this factory in Shanghai is like a road factory. The factory said that most of the products are unqualified and cannot be sold." He also observed that the long-term political struggle and the school's suspension of enrollment made the basic talents of Chinese factories extremely short of. He gave an example, the average age of 31 technicians at the Shanghai Internal Combustion Engine Research Institute is 56 years old.
