Abstract

Join us on the 19th March for a Fireside Chat with Professor Bryna Goodman, in collaboration with the Cambridge University Japan Forum.

This talk highlights the local and global politics that underlaid the early formation of Chinese stock exchanges, examining the emergence of Japanese colonial exchanges on Chinese territory, shortly after the formalization of a Shanghai British stock exchange in 1905. Although Chinese investments on the British exchange facilitated preliminary habituation to exchange-based share trading, Japanese financial imperialism more deeply shaped Chinese exchange formation, as the nationalist imperative to create competitive Chinese institutions necessitated contradictory reliance on Japanese advisers, partners, and capital.
