It is creeping inland, from Jiangsu to the cities of Chongqing and Wuhan,where businessmen from Hong Kong and Taiwan are starting to spend billions of dollars to build factories. And it has penetrated the northeast, where the city of Shenyang, long a moribund center of state industry, is bustling with new private business , from trading companies to prostitution. Back in Beijing, officials at China's state council, or cabinet, are giddy with excitement-and exhaustion. “We don't have people,we don't have time, ”says one.”Things are moving too fast.” After a slowdown through 1990, China's economy bounced back mightily, reaching a recent peak of 13 per cent growth last year.
