Download or read book Chinese Middlemen in Hong Kong s Colonial Economy 1830 1890 written by Kaori Abe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional view of the Hong Kong colonial economy is that it was dominated by Western companies, notably the great British merchant houses, and that these firms enlisted support from Chinese middlemen – the compradors – who were effectively agents working for the Western firms. This book, which presents a comprehensive overview of the compradors and their economic and social functions over the full period of colonial rule in Hong Kong, puts forward a different view. It shows that compradors existed before the beginning of British rule in 1842, discusses their economic and social roles in the colonial economy, roles which included activities for Western firms, for the government and to support compradors’ own commercial activities, and outlines how the comprador system evolved. Overall, the book demonstrates that the compradors played a key role in the formation and development of Hong Kong’s economy and society, that they were active participants, not just passive servants of Western companies.

Book excerpt: The rise of modern Shanghai after the suppression of the Taiping Rebellion in the late 1860s rested on several pillars: external trade, commerce, and banking. Firms, companies, and other entities (both Chinese- and foreign-owned) that had been active in these sectors in Shanghai had produced a vast variety of documents, pamphlets, and books from the 1870s to late 1940s. In this collection are included: reports covering wholesale, retail, export & import market prices compiled by the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, National Tariff Commission, and Bank of China; as many as sixteen beautifully illustrated guidebooks, handbooks, and commercial and business directories edited and distributed by geographical organizations, hotels, advertising, and publishing companies (e.g., Shanghai Mercury Desk Hong List: A business Directory for Shanghai 1925 and Guide to Shanghai 1941 edited by I. I. Kounin and published by Adcraft Studio) with a view to promoting the international settlement and Greater China to international visitors and tourists; reports, analyses, and handbooks on China's nascent stock, share, and securities markets, financial problems, major Chinese and foreign banks based in Shanghai, tables for currency conversion, manuals on insurance and assurance premiums and tariff; and other documents relating to the status and conditions of foreign and Chinese firms, and foreigners in China. Together these publications provide a compilation of rare, multicolored, and valuable material for understanding the business and trade scene of Shanghai during the period covered.
