A Militarized Concept of Citizenship
Resurrecting the lost voices of Chinese scouts, who served society in the early stage of China’s War of Resistance, this article examines the militarization and politicization of Chinese scouting. After 1927, international scouting adapted to the militant and quasi-fascist ideologies promoted by the Chinese Nationalist Party (Guomindang or GMD). This, in turn, prompted a radicalization of the concept of citizenship among the scouts. The article i…
Caught in Colonial Contradiction
During the high tide of anti-foreign activities in mid-1920s' China, missionary scoutmasters functioned as transmitters of Western culture at Griffith John College (GJC) – a British missionary school for Chinese boys at Hankou. This article contributes to imperial history, global history and Chinese youth history by looking into the role of scouting in China's socio-political development. It argues that the early Chinese scouting movement was dee…
Opportunism for Survival
This article examines the correlation between union activism, crime, and violence in the shipping industry in wartime China. Drawing on diplomatic and police records, shipping manifests, periodicals, and newspapers, the article deals with self-employed unskilled steamship attendants called “teaboys.” With insight into Chinese civilians’ underground struggle, the article contends that, steamship teaboys sustained their livelihoods during World War…

This article examines church-state relations in the early period of the People's Republic of China (PRC) by scrutinising the thoughts and the administration of Chao Tzu-chen-a prominent Chinese Christian leader-at Yenching University's School of Religion and its successor organisation. This article largely relies on the archives of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui, delving into Chao's psychological conflicts and the role of the Anglican churches in C…
Practical Christianity in Practice
This article, which highlights the religious origin of early Chinese scouting, scrutinises the connections between scouting, Christianity, and cultural exchange in early twentieth-century China. It provides insight into the history of Chinese youth by examining how British missionary scoutmasters, highly critical of Chinese parenting, introduced an alternate model of adolescence with a 'civilising' mission at Griffith John College – a mission sch…
Colonialism and Compromise
The Shanghai Municipal Council (SMC), which was mainly controlled by British residents in the treaty port of Shanghai, and protected by the British Foreign Office, came under serious challenge from the Guomindang (GMD) (the rising Nationalist Party of China) from 1927 onwards. The Shanghai Municipal Police (SMP)—an imperial police force with powers to arrest, prosecute and detain—was forced to collaborate with the GMD, and practice unlawful arres…
