ABSTRACT A CROSS-BOUNDARY PEOPLE: THE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES, SOCIAL NETWORKS, AND TRAVEL WRITINGS OF JAPANESE AND TAIWANESE SEKIMIN IN THE SHANTOU TREATY PORT (1895−1937) by LIN-YI TSENG Adviser: Professor Helena Rosenblatt This dissertation explores Japanese imperial history in East Asia and focuses on a group of “cross-boundary people”—Taiwanese sekimin (Taiwanese who registered as Japanese subjects) and Japanese—who went to the treaty port of Shantou in southern China during the period between 1895 and 1937. The starting time point (i.e., 1895) corresponds to the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, by which Japan acquired Taiwan as a colony and informal privileges in Chinese treaty ports. The ending time point (i.e., 1937) corresponds to the decline that Shantou’s Japanese community experienced owing to the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War on July 7, 1937. By examining the official documents of the Taiwan General Government, commercial reports of Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and major newspapers and travel writings published in colonial Taiwan, I explore the connections among the Japanese homeland ! iv! (the metropole), the Japanese formal empire in Taiwan, and the Japanese informal empire in Shantou in terms of commercial activities, human resources, and networks of words. Concerning commercial activities, I argue that Shantou was an important market for both Japanese and Taiwanese goods, and that the commercial network comprising the Japanese metropole, colonial Taiwan, and the Shantou treaty port was significant for Japanese imperial formation in East Asia. Moreover, by analyzing the Japan-China co-invested Dadong Ice-making Company in Shantou, I explore the complicated competitive and cooperative relationships among three notably different ethnic groups there: Taiwanese sekimin, local Chinese, and Japanese in Shantou. By examining the Japan-founded educational institution known as —the Tōē School in Shantou, I clarify two important points: (1) the Taiwan General Government established a network of human resources for the Japanese homeland, colonial Taiwan, and the Shantou treaty port; and (2) this particular school’s Japanese and Taiwanese teachers produced writings published in major Taiwanese periodicals, signifying a network of “words” between an element of Japan’s formal empire (Taiwan) and an element of Japan’s informal empire (Shantou). ! v! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In April 2013, while I was in Taiwan writing my dissertation at Academia Sinica, I received the tragic news that my advisor Barbara J. Brooks in New York had passed away after a protracted illness. It was a great shock to me. I have had trouble accepting that such a nice person who supported my academic work and who encouraged me personally for many years suddenly ceased to be here among us. Under these circumstances, I am grateful to Prof. Helena Rosenblatt, the executive officer of the Department of History at the CUNY Graduate Center, who helped me arrange my academic business with patience and understanding. I am no less grateful to Prof. George Solt, a specialist in modern Japanese history at NYU, who became my advisor after Prof. Brooks’ passing and who offered me invaluable advice on the dissertation. Without his assistance and generosity, I simply could not have completed my dissertation on schedule. I would like to express my gratitude, as well, to my dissertation-defense team: Prof. Richard Lufrano, who taught me much about Chinese history, especially Chinese urban history; Prof. Richard Belsky, who participated in the oral segment of my qualifying exam, my proposal defense, and then my dissertation defense; Pace University’s Prof. Joseph Tse-hei Lee , a specialist in the local history of Chaozhou and the Shantou area has provided me much useful ! vi! advices during my studies; and Prof. David Gordon, at CUNY Graduate Center, who read my dissertation carefully from a comparative perspective encompassing his European research background. During my research and writing activities in Taipei, scholars at the Institute of Taiwan History offered me much appreciated assistance: Prof. Shu-ming Chung , who has served as my sponsor in Taiwan and supported my academic research with sincerity and generosity; Prof. Yu-ju Lin , who has shared with me her enthusiasm for research and has provided me many opportunities to participate in academic activities at Academia Sinica; Prof. Hsueh-chi Hsu , whose knowledge of colonial Taiwanese history opened my eyes to the topic and whose diligence in conducting research has served as my own model; and Prof. Kuo-hsing Hsieh , the director of Academia Sinica’s Institute of Taiwan History, who has granted me access to one of the greatest sites for conducting research on colonial Taiwan’s history. In addition to these special people, I want to note Prof. Chin-shing Huang , the director of the Institute of History and Philology at Academia Sinica, who has long supported me academically and personally both in Taiwan and in New York; Prof. Shu-fen Liu , at Academia Sinica’s Institute of History and Philology, has unwaveringly encouraged me and ! vii! shared with me her impressive insights into balancing academic studies with child rearing; Prof. Shin Kawashima , at the University of Tokyo, is a specialist in modern Sino-Japanese relations and sponsored my academic visit to Japan while providing me a stream of useful advice about my research. Without the assistance of the abovementioned scholars, my dissertation would have lacked much of its current rigor. During the years I spent taking courses in New York, I benefited from a fellowship courtesy of Taiwan’s Ministry of Education, which provided financial support for my living expenses in New York. During the years I spent writing my dissertation in Taipei, I received financial assistance from many foundations and want to take this opportunity to thank each one individually: the Sumitomo Foundation in Japan, the Interchange Association of Japan, the Taipak Kianseng Rotary Club, the Institute of Taiwan History at Academia Sinica, the Christian Center at Shantou University, the China Times Cultural Foundation based in North America, and the Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange. Without all this financial assistance, I could not have completed my dissertation. I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my parents, my father Jeff and my mother Sachi, who led me to know the spirit of God, by which I could have confidence and hope regardless of ! viii! the difficulties before me. My parents’ endless love and devotion have been my main source of motivation in completing the dissertation. I want to thank my husband, Pio, who accompanied me during my studies in New York and helped me right up to the final step in my pursuit of a PhD. Our daughter, Josephine, has taught me patience and courage as a mother, and her smile is the most precious gift from God.! ! ix!

  • Competitiveness Analysis of China's Main Coastal Ports
    2019 International Conference on Economic Development and Management Science (EDMS 2019) Competitiveness analysis of China's main coastal ports Yu Zhua, * School of Economics and Management, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210000, China; [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: China coastal ports above a certain size, competitive power analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis Abstract: As a big trading power, China's main mode of transportation of international trade goods is sea transportation. Ports play an important role in China's economic development. Therefore, improving the competitiveness of coastal ports is an urgent problem facing the society at present. This paper selects 12 relevant indexes to establish a relatively comprehensive evaluation index system, and uses factor analysis and cluster analysis to evaluate and rank the competitiveness of China's 30 major coastal ports. 1. Introduction Port is the gathering point and hub of water and land transportation, the distribution center of import and export of industrial and agricultural products and foreign trade products, and the important node of logistics. With the continuous innovation of transportation mode and the rapid development of science and technology, ports play an increasingly important role in driving the economy, with increasingly rich functions and more important status and role. Meanwhile, the competition among ports is also increasingly fierce. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy and the promotion of "the Belt and Road Initiative", China's coastal ports have also been greatly developed. China has more than 18,000 kilometers of coastline, with superior natural conditions. With the introduction of the policy of reformation and opening, the human conditions are also excellent.

Abstract: As a coastal trading city in China, Shantou has complex terrain and changeable sea conditions in its coastal waters. In order to better protect the coastal engineering and social property along the coast, based on the numerical simulation method, this paper constructed a detailed hydrodynamic model of the Shantou sea area, and the measured tide elevation and tidal current were used to verify the accuracy of the model. Based on the simulation results, the tide elevation and current in the study area were analyzed, including the flood and ebb tides of astronomical spring tide, the flood and ebb tides of astronomical neap tide, the high tide, and the low tide. In order to find the main tidal constituent types in this sea, the influence of different tidal constituents on tide elevation and tidal current in the study area was analyzed. At the same time, the storm surge model of the study area was constructed, and the flow field under Typhoon “Mangkhut” in the study area was simulated by using the real recorded data.

  • The Guangzhou-Hongkong Strike, 1925-1926
    The Guangzhou-Hongkong Strike, 1925-1926 Hongkong Workers in an Anti-Imperialist Movement Robert JamesHorrocks Submitted in accordancewith the requirementsfor the degreeof PhD The University of Leeds Departmentof East Asian Studies October 1994 The candidateconfirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where referencehas been made to the work of others. 11 Abstract In this thesis, I study the Guangzhou-Hongkong strike of 1925-1926. My analysis differs from past studies' suggestions that the strike was a libertarian eruption of mass protest against British imperialism and the Hongkong Government, which, according to these studies, exploited and oppressed Chinese in Guangdong and Hongkong. I argue that a political party, the CCP, led, organised, and nurtured the strike. It centralised political power in its hands and tried to impose its revolutionary visions on those under its control. First, I describe how foreign trade enriched many people outside the state. I go on to describe how Chinese-run institutions governed Hongkong's increasingly settled non-elite Chinese population. I reject ideas that Hongkong's mixed-class unions exploited workers and suggest that revolutionaries failed to transform Hongkong society either before or during the strike. My thesis shows that the strike bureaucracy was an authoritarian power structure; the strike's unprecedented political demands reflected the CCP's revolutionary political platform, which was sometimes incompatible with the interests of Hongkong's unions. I suggestthat the revolutionary elite's goals were not identical to those of the unions it claimed to represent: Hongkong unions preserved their autonomy in the face of revolutionaries' attempts to control Hongkong workers.

  • Analysis of Tidal Prism Evolution and Characteristics of the Lingdingyang
    MATEC Web of Conferences 25, 001 0 6 (2015) DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/201525001 0 6 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2015 Analysis of Tidal Prism Evolution and Characteristics of the Lingdingyang Bay at Pearl River Estuary Shenguang Fang, Yufeng Xie & Liqin Cui Key laboratory of the Pearl River Estuarine Dynamics and Associated Process Regulation, Ministry of Water Resources, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China ABSTRACT: Tidal prism is a rather sensitive factor of the estuarine ecological environment. The historical evolution of the Lingdingyang water area and its shoreline were analyzed. By using remote sensing data, the evolution of the water area of the bay was also calculated in the past 30 years. Due to reclamation, the water area was greatly decreased during that period, and the most serious decrease occurred between 1988 and 1995. Through establishing the two-dimensional mathematical model of the Pearl River estuary, the tidal prism of the Lingdingyang bay has been calculated and analyzed. The hybrid finite analytic method of fully implicit scheme was adopted in the mathematical model’s dispersion and calculation. The results were verified though the method of combining the field hydrographic data and empirical formula calculation. The results showed that the main tidal entrance of the bay is the Lingdingyang entrance, which accounts for about 87.7% of the total tidal prism, while Hong Kong’s Anshidun waterway accounts for only 12.3% or so. Combining the numerical simulations and the historical evolution analysis of the water area and tidal prism, and compared with that in 1978, it showed that the tidal prism of the bay was greatly decreased, and the reduced area was mainly the inner Lingdingyang bay, which accounted for 88.4% of the whole shrunken areas.

  • Swiss Perceptions of Informal Imperialism in China in the 1920S
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2014 A tricky business: Swiss perceptions of informal imperialism in China in the 1920s Knüsel, Ariane Abstract: This article analyzes the role that commercial interests played in Swiss perceptions of infor- mal imperialism in China during the 1920s. Commercial interests were the driving force behind the establishment of Swiss relations with China in 1918 and Swiss rejections of Chinese demands to abolish extraterritoriality in the 1920s. Swiss commercial relations with China were deeply rooted in the social, economic, and political institutions and processes developed by informal imperialism in China. During the Chinese antiforeign agitation in the 1920s, the Swiss press criticized the unequal treaties as an example of imperialism in China but ignored Switzerland’s participation in it. This discrepancy between the official and media perceptions of Swiss commercial interests in China was caused by the fact that Switzerland’s dependence on privileges connected to the unequal treaties clashed with Swiss national mythology, which was based on neutrality and anti-imperial narratives. Moreover, the negligible importance attributed to Swiss trade with China and the increasing focus on the nationality of foreign companies in China allowed the Swiss media to ignore Swiss commercial interests in China. As a result, Swiss complicity in informal imperialism was downplayed by the Swiss press, which ignored the importance of Swiss commerce to Sino–Swiss relations.
