“Many a Long Day”: HSBC and Its Note Issue in Republican China, 1912–1935
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 February 2015
Abstract
This article utilizes the local banknote circulation volumes of HSBC, the largest foreign bank in China, as a gauge with which to explore political stability and state-building during the Republican era (1912–1935). It will challenge the prevailing view that British banks faced little resistance in China through the 1920s–1930s, and expose new archival evidence on the perception of, and mobilization against, foreign banks.
