Excerpt: ... maritime customs duties and the li-kin duties in the middle of the nineteenth century, when the amount of the annual revenues was less than five million taels, the land tax formed two-thirds or more of the whole, while in the last few years before the Chino-Japanese War, 1894, it supplied about three-eighths of the total annual return of about eighty million taels.1 In recent years it has constituted onefourth of the annual tax revenue of a little over two hundred million taels.2 (2) This important part of the revenue is inelastic. For centuries, the amount apportioned has not been changed, and to do so would be extremely difficult. Nevertheless, this method has the advantage of securing a total fixed sum. (3) The land tax is levied on the land without allowances for indebtedness. (4) As the land tax has existed for centuries, the process of capitalization has proceeded to the point where the greater part of the burden has been eliminated. The persons who have lost by its establishment are not the same as those who own the lands at present. For the same reason, the question of equality and that of certainty are not of particular moment. (5) Although the greater part of the land tax has been capitalized, yet there are some few uncertain elements which cannot be included in the calculations. Prominent among such elements is the depreciation of copper coins. As the tax is collected in terms of silver which is always scarce, the taxpayer must pay more copper coins for the same weight of silver owing to the depreciation. This means in effect an additional tax. This new element is 1 During the 19th century the legal amount of land tax is over 31,000,000 taels. Annual variations are not great. 2 According to the budget of 1011, the land tax...

Download or read book Imperial China 1350 1900 written by Jonathan Porter and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-02-04 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This clear and engaging book provides a concise overview of the Ming-Qing epoch (1368–1912), China’s last imperial age. Beginning with the end of the Mongol domination of China in 1368, this five-century period was remarkable for its continuity and stability until its downfall in the Revolution of 1911. Viewing the Ming and Qing dynasties as a coherent era characterized by the fruition of diverse developments from earliest times, Jonathan Porter traces the growth of imperial autocracy, the role of the educated Confucian elite as custodians of cultural authority, the significance of ritual as the grounding of political and social order, the tension between monarchy and bureaucracy in political discourse, the evolution of Chinese cultural identity, and the perception of the “barbarian” and other views of the world beyond China. As the climax of traditional Chinese history and the harbinger of modern China in the twentieth century, Porter argues that imperial China must be explored for its own sake as well as for the essential foundation it provides in understanding contemporary China, and indeed world history writ large.
Download or read book China s Last Imperial Frontier written by Xiuyu Wang and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's Last Imperial Frontier explores imperial China's frontier expansion in the Tibetan borderlands during the last decades of the Qing. The empire mounted a series of military attacks against indigenous chieftaincies and Buddhist monasteries in the east Tibetan region seeking to replace native authorities with state bureaucrats by redrawing the politically diverse frontier into a system of Chinese-style counties. Historically, at all the strategic frontier locations, the state had been for the most part outstripped by local institutions in political, military, and ideological strengths. With perceived threats from the Anglo-Russian "Great Game" accentuating Qing vulnerability in Tibet, the Sichuan government took advantage of the frontier crisis by encroaching upon local and Lhasa domains in Kham. Even though the Kham campaign was portrayed in Qing official discourse as a part of the nationwide reforms of "New Policies" (xinzheng) and administrative regularization (gaitu guiliu), its progress on the ground was influenced by the dynamics of interregional relations, including Sichuan's competition with central Tibet, power struggles among Qing frontier officials, and varied Khampa responses to the new regime. The growing regionalism intensified the resistance of local forces to imperial authority. Despite the uneven results of the late Qing campaign, it had come to serve as an important source of sovereignty claims and policy inspirations for the subsequent governments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the perspective of village activists across China, this book tells the stories of farmers and rural laborers who raised the banner of opposition to constitutional reform during the first decade of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Adam Smith in Beijing written by Giovanni Arrighi and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2009-01-05 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late eighteenth century, the political economist Adam Smith predicted an eventual equalization of power between the West and the territories it had conquered. In this magisterial new work, Giovanni Arrighi shows how China’s extraordinary rise invites us to reassess radically the conventional reading of The Wealth of Nations. He examines how recent US attempts to create the first truly global empire were conceived to counter China’s spectacular economic success Now America’s disastrous failure in Iraq has made the People’s Republic of China the true winner in the US War on Terror. China may soon become again the kind of noncapitalist market economy that Smith described, an event that will reconfigure world trade and the global balance of power.
