  • Summary

    Chapter 2 explores the entry and activities of the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank in the Chinese banking sector on the China coast. More generally, it explores the role foreign banks played in China’s banking sector, including their role in financing China’s foreign trade, and the relationship and interaction between foreign and Chinese banks. The chapter shows that, unlike what is often claimed by previous literature, the relationship between foreign and Chinese financial institutions was not one of one-sided domination but interdependence. The final part of the chapter explores the development of the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank’s business during the 1890s and the growing internationalization of the Chinese banking sector during the same period.

  • In this wide-ranging study, Ghassan Moazzin sheds critical new light on the history of foreign banks in late nineteenth and early twentieth century China, a time that saw a substantial influx of foreign financial institutions into China and a rapid increase of both China's foreign trade and its interactions with international capital markets. Drawing on a broad range of German, English, Japanese and Chinese primary sources, including business records, government documents and personal papers, Moazzin reconstructs how during this period foreign banks facilitated China's financial integration into the first global economy and provided the financial infrastructure required for modern economic globalization in China. Foreign Banks and Global Finance in Modern China shows the key role international finance and foreign banks and capital markets played at important turning points in modern Chinese history.
