Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foreign Financial Control in China With the conclusion of the Chino-Japanese War in 1895, a new era opened in the Far East, an era of rapid encroachment on China by powerful western nations and by Japan. These powers secured strategic bases on Chinese territory and sought to control certain parts of the Empire through the medium of railways. Railway conj cessions, and to some extent public loans, were the instruments by which the foreign powers advanced and carried out their policies. The obvious tendency of foreign ambitions at this time in regard to railway enterprise was to secure a monopoly of rights within socalled "spheres of interest," and as far as possible to exclude Chinese as well as other foreigners not only from securing concessions but also from any share in the control or management of those railways that were to be constructed in their respective spheres. Though at first sight political, and fought by diplomacy, the struggle for foreign control in China was not less one of international financial interests, contending for the exploitation of new opportunities for investment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Central and Local Finance in China: A Study of the Fiscal Relations Between the Central, the Provincial, and the Local Governments Influenced by the wave of political democracy of the Occident, China is now in the throes of agitation for pro vincial and local self-government, which is virtually nu attainable without separation of the sources of revenue be tween the Central and the Provincial Governments on the one hand and between the Provincial and the Local Governments on the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Currency and Banking This volume is but a sequel to m Finance in China. In that book I trie to give a bird's-eye view of the whole situation of trade and economics in the country. Owing to the number of subjects that had to be dealt with, the treatment was necessarily brief. The situation in China at the moment is full of interesting possibilities. Reform is in the air, and the necessity for it is being felt more keenly than at any past time. No one interested in this country, in any manner, can escape at least the thought of some scheme, or schemes, tending towards the reformation of China's government and finances. Having given a summary of the financial and economic situation, past and present, it is but a step further to attempt to formulate plans for the future. I have, therefore, endeavoured to sketch some suggestions for reform in this, and the two succeeding volumes on Taxation in China and Industries and Agriculture in China. At the beginning, I believed that I laid my plans on too large a scale, by arranging to treat the whole subject in two volumes. The scope widened as the work progressed, and I found myself confronted with the necessity, of writing, not two volumes, but four. In the body of the book, I have given my reasons for beginning with Currency and Banking. Even on these subjects, the amount of information available to the average man has been very meagre; hence, I was obliged to go more into detail, than I should have wished, concerning the past, in order to enable my readers to grasp thoroughly my schemefor reform Especially on Banking, it has been a case of pioneer work, because no one, so far as I can trace, has ever attempted to write comprehensively on that subject. I do not give out my scheme as the ideal, or as satisfying every requirement of reform. But I believe that it is the most suitable in the present circumstances in this country. My best thanks are due to Sir Everard Fraser, for going through the mss., and for the several valuable suggestions that l have embodied in the book.

Download or read book Out of China written by Robert Bickers and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2018 WOLFSON HISTORY PRIZE The extraordinary and essential story of how China became the powerful country it is today. Even at the high noon of Europe's empires China managed to be one of the handful of countries not to succumb. Invaded, humiliated and looted, China nonetheless kept its sovereignty. Robert Bickers' major new book is the first to describe fully what has proved to be one of the modern era's most important stories: the long, often agonising process by which the Chinese had by the end of the 20th century regained control of their own country. Out of China uses a brilliant array of unusual, strange and vivid sources to recreate a now fantastically remote world: the corrupt, lurid modernity of pre-War Shanghai, the often tiny patches of 'extra-territorial' land controlled by European powers (one of which, unnoticed, had mostly toppled into a river), the entrepôts of Hong Kong and Macao, and the myriad means, through armed threats, technology and legal chicanery, by which China was kept subservient. Today Chinese nationalism stays firmly rooted in memories of its degraded past - the quest for self-sufficiency, a determination both to assert China's standing in the world and its outstanding territorial claims, and never to be vulnerable to renewed attack. History matters deeply to Beijing's current rulers - and Out of China explains why.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Consortium: The Official Text of the Four-Power Agreement for a Loan to China and Relevant Documents Finally I notice that in his answer to the American bankers' letter Mr. Lansing states that the United States Government would be opposed to any terms or conditions of a loan which sought to impair the political control of China or lessened the sovereign rights of that Republic. His Majesty's Government presume that in making this statement the Secretary of State did not mean to imply that the United States Government would not entertain favorably any loan scheme submitted for their approval by the American Group which provided for foreign control of the collection of the revenues earmarked as security for the loan, such as exists in the case of the loans secured on the Chinese Maritime Customs Revenues and on the Salt Gabelle. Similarly His Majesty's Government conclude that the United States Government would not consider, for example, the appointment under the terms of a currency reform loan of a foreign adviser to Supervise the introduction of currency reforms in China as an infringement of that country's sovereign rights. I venture to suggest that the favorable consideration of the American pro posal would be facilitated if His Majesty's Government and the Other Governments concerned could be reassured as to the pre cise intentions of the United States Government in this matter.

Download or read book Foreign Rights and Interests in China written by Westel W. Willoughby and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foreign Rights and Interests in China The purpose of this volume is to provide a statement of the rights of foreigners and the interests of foreign States in China as they are to be found stated in treaties with or relating to China or in other documents of an official or quasi-official character. Viewed from the other side, the account will exhibit the limitations under which the Chinese Government is compelled to act not only with regard to matters of international obligation but as to matters which, in countries more fortunately circumstanced, are of purely domestic concern. Whether the purpose of the volume has been satisfactorily achieved, the reader will determine, but that there is a pressing need for a work that will furnish an explanation and definite statement of the rights and interests which the Treaty Powers and their nationals have obtained in China, few will question. Anyone who has been in China, or has had business interests with that country, or has sought to gain an understanding of the conflict of national interests in the Far East, will testify to the urgency of this need. This is not to say, however, that there are not already books which deal with many of these topics. There are such treatises, and among them, especially deserving mention, aTe: H. B. Morse's The Trade and Administration of China, 2d ed., published in 1913, and his three volumes on Foreign Relations of the Chinese Empire, 1884-1911; V. K. Wellington Koo's The Status of Aliens in China, published in 1912; T. R. Jemigan's China in Law and Commerce, published in 1905; T. W. Overlach's Foreign Financial Control in China, published in 1919; and M. T. Z. Tyau's The Legal Obligations Arising out of Treaty Relations between China and Other States, published in 1917. From these volumes the author has derived the greatest aid. It will appear, however, that he has explained many matters Which are not discussed by these earlier writers, and, of course, there has been opportunity to deal with the important developments of the last few years.

Download or read book Never Turn Back written by Julian Gewirtz and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1980s saw spirited debate in China, as officials and the public pressed for economic and political liberalization. But after Tiananmen, the Communist Party erased the reform debate from memory. Julian Gewirtz shows how the leadership expunged alternative visions of China's future and set the stage for the policing of history under Xi Jinping.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cutting-edge look at how accelerating financial change, from the end of cash to the rise of cryptocurrencies, will transform economies for better and worse. We think weÕve seen financial innovation. We bank from laptops and buy coffee with the wave of a phone. But these are minor miracles compared with the dizzying experiments now underway around the globe, as businesses and governments alike embrace the possibilities of new financial technologies. As Eswar Prasad explains, the world of finance is at the threshold of major disruption that will affect corporations, bankers, states, and indeed all of us. The transformation of money will fundamentally rewrite how ordinary people live. Above all, Prasad foresees the end of physical cash. The driving force wonÕt be phones or credit cards but rather central banks, spurred by the emergence of cryptocurrencies to develop their own, more stable digital currencies. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies themselves will evolve unpredictably as global corporations like Facebook and Amazon join the game. The changes will be accompanied by snowballing innovations that are reshaping finance and have already begun to revolutionize how we invest, trade, insure, and manage risk. Prasad shows how these and other changes will redefine the very concept of money, unbundling its traditional functions as a unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value. The promise lies in greater efficiency and flexibility, increased sensitivity to the needs of diverse consumers, and improved market access for the unbanked. The risk is instability, lack of accountability, and erosion of privacy. A lucid, visionary work, The Future of Money shows how to maximize the best and guard against the worst of what is to come.
Download or read book The Chinese Information War written by Dennis F. Poindexter and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's information war against the United States is clever technically, broadly applied and successful. The intelligence community in the U.S. has publicly stated this is a kind of war we do not know how to fight--yet it is the U.S. military that developed and expanded the doctrine of information war. In fact, the U.S. military is at a disadvantage because it is part of a democratic, decentralized system of government that separates the state from commercial business. China's political systems are more easily adapted to this form of warfare, as their recent land seizures in the South China Sea demonstrate. We call this annexation, when it is a new form of conquest.
Download or read book The Great Decoupling written by Nigel Inkster and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of recorded history, China was a leading science and technology power. But just as the West rose, China turned in on itself, and missed the Industrial Revolution. The result was the 'Hundred Years of Humiliation', and a long struggle for a modern, yet distinctly Chinese, civilisational identity. Today, technological innovation has returned to the core of national pride and ambition.Since the 1980s, reforms have transformed China into the world's second largest economy and a major global power. Cyber space and other advanced technologies have become a battleground for international dominance; but today's world relies on global supply chains and interstate collaboration--at least, for now. Growing tension between the USA and China could result in the two superpowers decoupling their technology--with significant consequences for humanity's future.The Great Decoupling shows that this technology contest, and how it plays out, will shape the geopolitics of the twenty-first century.
