    　View Summary

    Commercial ofganizations of prominent Chinese merchants groups based upon the identity of local origin or profession, which were re-established after the suppression of the Taiping rebellion, started to break up from the end of the 1880s, resulting in their re-organization into Chinese chambers of commerce under the guidance of the ministry of commerce in the early twentieth century. The reason for this historical phenomenon was not the development of capitalism in China, but the formation and the growth of a Chinese commercial network which cooperated in the commercial activities of British firms in return for protecting of property under the treaty privileges. granted during the 1880s. These treaty privileges, which pro-British Chinese eagerly sought to utilize, included the use of outward transit pass as (i.e. tokens of one-half export duty) and the limited liability of shareholders, which was effective only for the shareholders in "British tirms" registered as so by the British Supreme Court in the Shanghai foreign settlement. It was Ewo Silk Filature of Jardine, Matheson Company's Shanghai branch that combined these two treaty privi-leges, enabling their Chinese partners to protect their property from both Lijin tax collection and bankruptcy. In order to reveal the origin of this pro-British-firm Chinese network acting in return for protection of their property with the limited liability of shareholders of British firms, this article first deals with the process of how Ewo Silk Filature was re-stablished. The author then turns to "the Bank of China Case" as the only example for witnessing the growth of the pro-British-fifm Chinese commercial network. Finally he reveals how and why Chinese local officials tried to intervene in "the Bank of China Case" and the following negotiations concerning Article 4 of the Mackay treaty. The above commercial conflicts and diplomatic negotiations reveal the historical character of Chinese society from the view point of institutional history.

    　View Summary

    This article is an analysis of the money market of central China and the currency reform movements by the Chambers of Commerce of foreign merchants in Shanghai and Hongkong. In the 1870s, it was the Chinese native bank (Qian zhuang銭荘) that controlled the money market central China. Taking advantage of the great demand for silver dollars during tea and silk export sales season, the Chinese native banks used to absorb great quantities of silver dollars and had them changed into sycee to absorb more silver dollars from the money market again. Because of this operation, Western colonial banks suffered the shortage of sycee, which was indispensable for purchasing export bills of exchange, whereas Chinese merchants lacked silver dollars to buy tea and silk in the inland districts. In order to prevent deflation, Western colonial banks were compelled to import silver to boost the supply of circulating on the money market, however, they suffered great losses from this operation after the silver price started to fall in 1873. In particular, when a great silk export boom took place in 1876, this peculiar character of the money market brought about a "Silver Famine", which caused great losses to Western colonial banks and mercantile houses alike. The "Silver Famine" of 1876 affected foreign merchants in Shanghai and Hongkong to start the reform movement of Chinese currency system; this movement was started by the activities of the foreign merchants' Chambers of Commerce in Shanghai and Hongkong. However, the Chambers of Commerce failed to act together because of the following reasons : the Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai considered the silver dollars as the basic standard of value and believed that the Qing government could reform their currency system by themselves; the Chamber of Commerce in Hongkong considered the sycee as the basic standard of value and doubted the ability of the Qing government to reform their currency system. Consequently, by sending the memorial, the Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai alone made the foreign Ministers in Beijing to propose the Qing government to establish a Mint to issue a silver coin with fixed quality and weight. Nevertheless, due to the strong opposition from Chinese ministers and local magistrates, the Zongli Yamen (総理衞門) turned down the proposal from the foreign Ministers. After this negotiation, however, because of the great famine, the increase in Indian tea, European and Japanese silk exports, the volume of the Chinese tea and silk trade decreased. Moreover, the abolishment of the first crop purchasing custom in 1979 liberated Western colonial banks from the unfavour situation explained above.

    This is the first in a series of articles which attempts to reveal the process of China's semi-colonization by the British and the competition between the Westerners and the Chinese for the control of the China market and credit system from 1860 to 1893. Their competition can be divided into three periods : the first period was the 1860's when competition between Western mercantile houses, and compradores / Chinese merchants, resulted in a victory for the latter ; the second period was the 1870's when there was a structural change in competition from Western mercantile vs. compradores / to colonial banks vs. the Chinese native banks and when the power of both parties was kept totally equal ; and the third was the 1880's and early 90's during which colonial banks succeeded in gaining superiority over the Chinese native banks in the China market and its credit system. This essay, dealing with the first period and analyses why Western mercantile houses were inferior in this decade and how compradores / Chinese merchants took advantage of their superior position. Throughout the 1860's, Western mercantile houses suffered three major difficulties which even the so-called unequal treaties could not resolve ; these were 1)the unreasonable increase in the price of tea and silk brought about by the tea clipper race, 2)the "long credit system" they had to apply in selling cotton yarn and piece goods to Chinese merchants, and 3)the instablity and uncertanity of the transportation and communication system between China and Europe. On the contrary, compradores / Chinese merchants were in a superior position for the following reasons : 1)they monopolised the information of the inland market, 2)they maintained a hegemony over inland market activities, and 3)the lack of an effective judicial administration which could control their activities. For the reasons given above, compradores / Chinese merchants, took advantage of overtrading caused by the American Civil War, to get as much profit as possible by adulteration and false packing of raw cotton and tea. After the economic crisis of 1866, in order to avoid the collapse of the credit system in China, foreign mercantile houses and colonial banks, which had suffered great damage from these activities, attempted to control compradores / Chinese merchants on a number of ways : by refusing to undertake import sales on credit in Hankow, by reforming the judicial administration in Shanghai, and by shortening the usance of foreign exchange bills issued on tea and silk. However, none of these measures were successful. Although conflict in the decade was finally settled by the introduction of the "Chop Loan" by the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, a new problem arose in the Shanghai money market ; namely currency speculation (maikong maikong 買空売空) by Chinese native banks on money funds advanced by colonial banks.

    　View Summary

    This research project dealt with the infringement of foreign firms' trademarks by Chinese merchants since the 1890s, and how it influenced the first Chinese trademark law in 1923. The Chinese merchants manufactured imitation goods of popular imported goods by themselves or committed this task to Japanese manufactures in Osaka and Kobe. After 1915 when the unti-Japanese goods boycott movement prevailed, some Japanese intended to manufacture Western imitation goods and exports them through Chinese merchants. Due to the increase of Japanese made Western imitation goods, the Japanese and the British governments could not cooperate with each other to force the Chinese government to prohibit the infringement of their firms' trademarks by the Chinese. This was the genuine background in which the Chinese government succeeded in promulgating its own trademark law in 1923

    From a lot of our studies, we could recognize that an international relation had extremely brought the important effect to the construction of the governance over "Foreigner" in East Asia. And we could point out that the system of law over "Foreigner" had been not made uniformed in the country but these laws systems had various patterns based on the city or the region. Moreover, we could confirm that there was a certain kind of phenomenon in which legal ream rings beyond a national area were constructed in East Asia. Of course, these rings were constructed not only under the influence of Empire Japan, but also in the whole areas of East Asia outside its area

    I analyzed what took place when Chinese creditors sued their British surety firm for collecting debt from their Chinese debtors; and what took place when Western firms, mainly American firms did their Chinese sureties for contract breach in the early twentieth century. In the former case, I analyzed one typical case, "Tung Ta, Hung Yuen, Tsing Chong, Ye Tung-theong and Vow Cheng Banks v. the Chartered Ban of India, Australia and China, 1904-1907," and revealed once a Western firm was arranged to be a surety of their Chinese comprador, they were forced to guarantee the debt of their Chinese comprador's debt whatever the unfavorable condition. Meanwhile, analyzing various civil cases between US firms and their Chinese debtors and surety for contracting breach, I revealed these cases brought about the establishing of Chinese commercial court in 1918

    　View Summary

    本年度の研究成果は、20世紀初頭になって史料に頻発するようになった、債権者によって上海会審衙門に債権回収訴訟を起こされ、これに敗訴した中国人が、在華イギリス人法律事務所の名義もしくはマカオ、もしくは日本でポルトガル、日本国籍を取得することで会審衙門の追求の手を逃れようとした代表的な事例を四件取り上げて分析した。その成果は、6月26日に韓国、ソウルの高麗大学を会場にして開かれた国際学会、AAS-in-Asia のSesson 152で英語による報告を行った。なお、この成果は、このセッションを主催した香港Baptist大学のStephanie Po Yun Chung教授が編者となった英文論文集に収録される予定である。

  • 「英語を話す中国人」の活動を通して見た中国の近代化

    2000  

    　View Summary

    　上記の課題に関する研究は､申請時の予定を超えて３編の学術雑誌論文に結実した。1999年秋に東洋史研究会で行った学会報告は､その後「辛亥革命前夜の中英債権債務処理問題―1910年『ゴム株式恐慌』を中心に―」という論文にまとまり､昨年年末に『東洋史研究』に投稿し､2001年9月刊行の第60巻第2号に掲載が決定した。本編の姉妹編ともいうべき論文、「辛亥革命前夜の信用制度問題―1910年『ゴム株式恐慌』後を中心に―」の執筆を雑誌『近きに在りて』から依頼された。こちらは今年の７月に刊行され、同時に中国語に翻訳され、今年の10月に中国で開催される辛亥革命90周年記念国際シンポジウムに提出されることになっている。　最後に、「清末民国初期上海、香港に於ける会社登記制度問題―株主の有限責任制を中心に―」は執筆が予定より遅れた。こちらは来年刊行予定の邦文著書に含める予定である。

  • 清末民国初期、中国買辧商人の経済活動とその制度的基盤

    1999  

    　View Summary

    　昨年特定課題研究助成費の支給を受けて行った研究活動の成果の一部は、11月3日に京都大学で開催された東洋史研究会大会での研究報告「辛亥革命期上海に於ける株式先物取引規制と破産処理―１９１０年ゴム株恐慌をめぐる一考案―」にまとめられた。これは夏休み中に読み終えた史料のみに基づく中間報告であり、これ以外にもイギリス外務省領事報告、中国側史料を読んで補わなくてはならない部分がかなり残っている。幸い、上記の学会報告の内容は京都大学東洋史研究会主催者側の好評を得ることが出来、今年11月末日までに論文にまとめて提出するようにとの依頼を受けることが出来た。目下はこの論文作成の準備作業として前述の史料を読む作業を進行中である。　もう一つ、１９９８年に学習院大学で開かれた社会経済史学会での自由論題報告「在華イギリス会社登記制度をめぐる中国商人の動向とイギリス政府当局の対応―上海租界・香港を中心に―」を論文にまとめるための準備作業については、昨年12月に特定課題研究費の補助を受けて香港歴史档案館に出張し、日本では入手不可能である上海に設立されながら香港に「イギリス籍有限株式会社」として登記された会社の中国人株主のリストを数多く入手することが出来た。この史料を追加して上記学会報告を論文にまとめなおす作業は今年前半に完成させる予定である。
