Event

Bond markets, revolutions, and the Chinese Maritime Customs Service

Wed, 2nd Nov 2011 12:30pm – 01:30pm

The Kanaris Theatre, Manchester Museum, Oxford Road
M13 9PL

Description

Professor Hans van de Ven is Professor of Modern Chinese History, Cambridge University

This talk will address the emergence of bond markets in China, their links with London, and their importance during the 1911 Revolution and the rise to power of the Chinese Nationalists. The Maritime Customs Service was important in this series of events as its revenues served as security for China's international and national bonds and because the Inspector General of the Service was responsible for issuing and managing China's bonds.
