Sanadkii 1931 daadadku aad bay u baddasheen bartamaha Shiinaha waxayna u dhinteen dad u dhaxayay 400,000 ilaa 4 milyan. Wasiirka Maaliyadda Shiinaha Tse-Ven Soong wuxuu ku guuleystey inuu amaah nooc ah ka helo Mareykanka, oo loo yaqaan "Cotton and Wheat Loan". Mareykanka waxaa laga saaray cududii iyo hadhuudhkii ay isticmaali jireen, dowlada Shiinaha ayaa ka iibisay cududii iyo hadhuudhkii shacabkeeda ama siiyay lacag si ay ugu shaqeeyaan. Tan waxaa ku jira maalgelinta mashaariicda injineernimada biyaha. Bourdrez wuxuu u safray gees kasta oo Shiinaha ah si uu indhihiisa ugu arko webiyada.
