More about the book

Focusing on imperial power dynamics and transnational trade, this book delves into the activities of shipowners and merchants in the South China Sea from 1840 to 1930. It highlights the economic struggles and interactions among coastal shipping companies amid the backdrop of British Hong Kong and French Indochina. By examining the roles of major ports like Hong Kong, Saigon, and Haiphong, alongside lesser-known Guangzhouwan, it reveals how French and German companies navigated imperial influences and contributed to globalization, expanding beyond traditional colonial narratives.
