Summary

THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES THE SITUATION IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, WHERE HE FOUND THERE WERE HARDLY ANY COMPREHENSIVE REFRIGERATING OR FREEZING COLD CHAINS.

THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THESE CARS, AS WELL AS CHINA'S EXPORT SITUATION, VERY LIMITED CONTAINER TRAFFIC, AND CONDITIONS OF ROAD TRANSPORT (WHERE FROZEN MEAT AND FISH ARE OFTEN CARRIED ON OPEN TRUCKS).
