| | [A-List] China: economic development & backwash effects (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | The only serious move has come in Mongolia, where protests were made by the Darhan Metallurgy Plant, the nation's only steel mill, a Russian-built venture limping along partly because of a lack of scrap metal. |
 | | Situated 135 miles north of Ulan Bator by rail, Darhan is a company town with Mongolia's second-largest urban population, 100,000. |
