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.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. 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.
