the southeast benefits from its relative location to the strong economies of hong kong and taiwan, as well as closer cultural ties among businesspeople there. it also has a reputation for creative and dynamic entrepreneurial energies, something the northeast so far has lacked. differences in the labor forces also contribute to slow growth in the northeast. in the south, workers are pro-market economy. many are temporary migrants from rural areas and small cities. by contrast, the work force in and around shenyang tend to be well-organized permanent workers used to low productivity. and a large factor is the continuing managerial structure of the state-owned enterprises themselves. pannell: china is a leninist state still. people don't think of it that way, but it indeed is. virtually all of these people that are running... people that are making the decisions are done by communist party officials. narrator: companies like the shenyang number one machine tool works are run by communist party members. many factories have been plagued with corruption among top management. and all too oft
