The coal mine in Tzu-po is the largest coal mine in Shantung, which accounts for 69% of the total coal production in the province (in 1953), followed by the Tu-chuang coal mine, which accounts for 16 of the province's total coal[...]
A recent report (NCNA, 27 April 1961) tells of the rapid development of the coal industry in the neighbouring provinces to meet the needs of Shanghai and states that, besides local mines, the large ones near Tzu-po (Tzepo) (Shantung province) at Tzu-ch’uan and Po-shan, Huai-nan and P’ing-hsiang have received special attention for this purpose.
Shantung's population is predominantly Northern Mandarin-speaking and of Han Chinese origin, but htere are small concentrations of Hui (Chinese Muslims) in Tsi-nan, the capital, in Chou-ts'un (just west of Tzu-po), and in Chi-ning and Lin-ch'ing (traditing centres on the Grand Canal in western Shantung near the Hopeh border).
