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"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 288-321) and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on July 06, 2022) Subject Banks and banking, Foreign -- China -- History -- 19th century Banks and banking, Foreign -- China -- History -- 20th century Investments, Foreign -- China -- History -- 19th century Investments, Foreign -- China -- History -- 20th century Banks and banking, Foreign Economic history Investments, Foreign SUBJECT China -- Economic conditions -- 1644-1912. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024013 Subject China Genre/Form Electronic books History Form Electronic book ISBN 9781009037891 1009037897
