Quotations
But this is not all. It will be remembered that from Hanoi, the capital of Tonkin, a second line has been spoken of as leaving for Chinese territory — the Hanoi-Langson-Lungchow Railway. This strategic railway is already in fair way of being entirely completed, and the extension to Nanningfu, Pakhoi, and the leased port and territory of Kwangchow-wan will shortly be taken in hand.

With the exception of Shiukwan on the Canton-Hankow railroad, Kwangtung’s regional centers are situated along the coast, notably in the Canton delta. There, in addition to Canton, are the cities of Fatshan, Kongmoon and Shekki. The metropolis of western Kwangtung is Tsamkong, and Pakhoi is the chief town of the western panhandle.

The Japanese pleasure at China’s obvious disunity created pressure for a settlement, which was enhanced by their reaction to an incident at Pakhoi, in southwestern Kwangtung. The only Japanese in that city, a medicine dealer, was murdered by troops of the Nineteenth Route Army; in retaliation, Japanese gunboats moved into Pakhoi harbour, and for a while seemed about to use the Incident as a pretext for aggression in that area.
