DESCRIPTION:During the late 19th and early 20th centuries\, foreign banks 
 were a major presence within the Chinese banking sector. They financed Chi
 na’s rapidly growing foreign trade\, issued their own currencies and pro
 vided loans to the Chinese government that allowed China to finance wars\,
  fund industrialisation projects and maintain political stability. However
 \, they have previously either been neglected by the existing scholarship 
 or simply viewed as another manifestation of Western imperialism. By follo
 wing the history of one German bank\, the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank (DAB\, C
 hinese: 德華銀行) I explore how the interaction between German and oth
 er foreign bankers and Chinese officials\, bankers and merchants led to th
 e rapid internationalisation of Chinese state finance and the Chinese bank
 ing sector on the China coast.
