Items related to Foreign Financial Control in China (Classic Reprint)
Synopsis
This book examines the establishment of foreign financial control over China between 1895 and 1911. Prior to this period, several major Western powers had used military expeditions and economic pressure to force China into granting a range of concessions and setting up extraterritorial zones in which foreign powers alone exercised legal authority. By the late 19th century, however, European nations and Japan were increasingly seeking to establish spheres of influence within China, leading to the scramble for concessions. The author analyzes how this situation came to be, particularly the roles of foreign banks and syndicates. The book further discusses the leasing of territories and the granting of economic concessions, examining their effects on China's integrity and sovereignty. This book will be of great interest to readers seeking to understand the historical development of China's international relations, and the origins of the unequal treaties that shaped China's relations with the West.
