Abstract:

AbstractFrom 1844 to 1845, the translation problems with the Supplementary Treaty (aka Treaty of the Bogue) and the Treaty of Nanking were revealed through successive back translations by Walter Henry Medhurst in the Chinese Repository. A comparison of the official Chinese and English language versions of the two treaties shows noteworthy problems of addition, omission, and misinterpretation. These translation problems can be understood and interpreted in the light of the fact that the Qing side had relinquished the right to employ its own translators and knew little about the principles of international law. Researchers into the history of Sino-foreign treaties and Sino-foreigner relations should give careful attention to the role of translation in the history of this period.

Abstract:

As china's leading “treaty port” city, Shanghai has long been stereotyped as the prime bridgehead for foreign encroachment on China and as the most westernized city of the country (Tang and Shen 1989: introduction). Recent scholarship in the West still refers to Shanghai as “the other China,” “in China but not of it,” “a foreign city even in its own country” (Bergere 1981; Murphey 1992:346; Clifford 1991:9). In the first half of the twentieth century, was the influence of the West in Shanghai so strong that the city was alienated from the rest of China? Was Shanghai firmly in the grip of modernization, which in China was often associated with a tendency to change toward things Western? Or, alternatively, was Shanghai home to a strong and vibrant current of traditionalism, a traditionalism that can be equated with continuity or persistence of things indigenously Chinese? The answers to these questions can be very diverse, depending in large measure on the dimensions one chooses to examine. Most of our assumptions and judgments on this issue have been drawn from broad and sweeping political or economic perspectives with little attention paid to the everyday lives of ordinary people. How the common people continued to live their everyday lives is, I believe, most relevant to the question of the impact of modernity (or of the West) upon urban China.

Abstract:

On June 4th 1931 the North China Daily News—the principal British owned English-language newspaper in Shanghai published a small report on page 12 headed ‘Alleged crime by foreigner: Shooting affair on the Nanking railway: Held by military authorities’ This went on to state a Russian had been arrested for the murder of two Chinese gendarmes on the 1st of June at 10pm. He had been challenged as a prelude to a search but had fired on them and escaped having fatally wounded two men. The following morning a ‘suspicious looking foreigner’ had been arrested in the vicinity and was still being held in custody. The source of this story was the previous day's Shenbao, the leading Shanghai Chinese newspaper which had picked up the story from the Suzhou press. The Russian's name was given as Xi si ke tuo qu luo—which might be transliterated as ‘Sea Scout’, for reasons which will become clear.

Abstract:

Hong Kong has been part of Chinese territory since ancient times. Before the British occupation, Hong Kong had achieved considerable development in agriculture, fisheries, the salt industry, transportation, cultural undertakings and education. It was by no means a desolate and barren land at that time. British troops occupied Hong Kong Island on 25 January 1841 during the Opium War. In August 1842, the British government formally annexed Hong Kong Island by forcing the Qing government to conclude the Sino-British Treaty of Nanking. In the Second Opium War, British troops forcibly occupied Kowloon in 1860. In October the same year, the British government annexed Kowloon after forcing the Qing government to conclude the Sino-British Convention of Peking. When imperialist powers were locked in their bid to carve up and grab spheres of influence in China, Britain again forced the Qing government into signing the Convention for the Extension of Hong Kong Territory in June 1898 by which it leased a large expanse of Chinese territory south of Shenzhen River and north of Boundary Street and some 235 islands, renamed later as the “New Territories,” thus achieving its occupation and control over the entire Hong Kong region.

Abstract:

This study examines the impact of microfinance on the social performance of local households in the Kassena Nankana East District of northern Ghana. The study’s primary objective was to measure the average effect of the common social performance framework’s core indicators (outreach and products and services) on beneficiaries. Because the social performance management framework is an institutional-based evaluation, it is silent on changes in the service users’ lives. This study modified the common social performance management framework to treat outreach and products and services as independent variables, with changes in the lives of service users as the only output or result. We narrowed these indicators to outreach and mobile banking, and under products and services, we concentrated on nonfinancial products and services because, in microfinance, nonfinancial services lack the needed attention. This study employed the propensity score matching (PSM) method to measure the average treatment effect of the independent variables (outreach, mobile banking, and training) by using data from 341 client households. In the absence of a random assignment of treatment conditions, we placed client households who received these three treatments in a treatment group and those who did not receive such treatments in a control group. We further used the PSM method to match observations of households in the treatment group (households who have access to mobile banks, MFI outreach, and training) with those in the control group (households without access to those) by creating the conditions of an experiment where the treatment elements are randomly assigned to avoid any possible bias. The results showed that outreach significantly decreased loan disbursement time. Conversely, outreach was not significant in relation to delayed loan disbursement time. Mobile banking was statistically significant for increased income, business expansion, timely loan disbursement, and high cost of loans. On the contrary, mobile banking was significantly negative in relation to delayed loan disbursement time. Training showed a significant correlation with women’s empowerment, household decision making, and political and community participation. Regarding the impact of training on the use of a loan, the value of loans for consumption was negative, whereas for production it was positive. Despite the general acceptance of the common framework to measure microfinance social performance, there is still little work to prove the relationship between the framework’s output variables and changes in the lives of the service users. This paper is the first to provide empirical evidence on the impact of outreach and training on change variables. The implication of this paper is that nonfinancial services are equally crucial to delivering change for microfinance service users. Therefore, policymakers must find ways to incorporate essential nonfinancial products and services as bundle packages with credit. Additionally, mobile banking has a high potential for addressing challenges with remote outreach and adverse selection, which is a primary obstacle preventing many poor people from accessing credit.

Abstract:

The history of Hong Kong ferry services began with the establishment of the colony of the British Empire after the Treaty of Nanking. The ferry system was the foundation of public transport in Hong Kong. This study adopts the concept of centre-periphery theory to explain how ferry services facilitate regional integration in Hong Kong, notably on Outlying Islands, and describe how better transportation influenced the course of development of the communities of the peripheral islands. Through an intensive documentary investigation and in-depth interviews with the islanders, this study undertakes a historical approach to study the evolution of the Hong Kong ferry services throughout the last two centuries, and to see the prospects of its development, particularly the services for the Outlying Islands, in the postcolonial Special Administrative Region. Our main concerns include the significance of ferry services in maintenance, and the economic development and social welfare in the Outlying Islands. The slow decline of Hong Kong ferry services since the 1970s notwithstanding, the study addressed how and why ferry services in Hong Kong are still important to keep the city intact, while giving the islanders some new choices of self-identity and of staying in their peripheral home.

Abstract:

The Warlike party believed it had the right to petition both the Chinese and British governments to have its voice heard and to obtain the justice it deserved. In this spirit, which seemed to be a product of enlightenment but was actually imperialism, the party engaged the Chinese government and went to London to lobby for war in 1835 and 1839. They met with Foreign Secretary Lord Palmerston and finally won his support in late 1839. They supplied him with a war strategy and, crucially, with knowledge of the weakness of Chinese military defences, which suggested that the war was easily winnable. Not many in London or the West had the means, at the time, to know China better than the British merchants of Canton. The military intelligence they supplied made a difference in the war decision. Britain fought and won the First Opium War, according to the plan the Warlike party supplied, prompting Palmerston, famously, to express his thanks to key Warlike party member William Jardine for the ‘assistance and information . . . so handsomely afforded’. The Nanking Treaty, signed after the war in 1842, fulfilled the demands that merchants had discussed in their maritime public sphere.
