Quotations
Indonesia's Liem Sioe Liong became a major developer in Fukien. His efforts are centered on Fuching, his hometown just south of Foochow. Even before Indonesia and China normalized relations in 1990, Liem was pouring money into Fuching, earmarking $89 million to build a ten-mile highway, dozens of sprawling apartment blocks, office buildings and factories, and a marble-lobbied three-star hotel.
