The Port
The Port (present-day Hà Tiên), situated in the Mekong River Delta and Gulf of Siam littoral, was founded and governed by the Chinese creole Mo clan during the eighteenth century and prospered as a free-trade emporium in maritime East Asia. Mo Jiu and his son, Mo Tianci, maintained an independent polity through ambiguous and simultaneous allegiances to the Cochinchinese regime of southern Vietnam, Cambodia, Siam, and the Dutch East India Company.…
The Resurgence of Chinese Mercantile Power in Maritime East Asia, 1500–1700
During the eighteenth century, ethnic Chinese emerged as the pre-eminent diasporic community in maritime East Asia. From the East China Sea to the Strait of Melaka, Chinese junks dominated the trading lanes, carrying silk, porcelain, and tea from China, copper from Japan, and Southeast Asian natural resources to ports across the region, from Guangzhou to Banjarmasin. Immigrants flooded into the sparsely populated interior of Southeast Asia, where…

The Maritime Defense of China
B radley C amp D avis . Imperial Bandits
Bradley Davis’s thrilling, fast-paced narrative Imperial Bandits: Outlaws and Rebels in the China-Vietnam Borderlands plunges the reader into the liminal world of the Sino-Vietnamese borderlands. He shows how, over the nineteenth century, it became a site of fierce competition and state building between the Vietnamese Nguyễn court at Huế, Qing China, and France.

The Shogun's Chinese Partners
During the seventeenth century, an alliance took shape between Japan's Tokugawabakufuand the Zheng organization of southeastern China and Taiwan. The Zheng, especially under the half-Japanese Koxinga in the 1650s, were ideal partners because of their domination of maritime East Asian trade, privileged access to much-coveted Chinese goods, and commitment to Ming restoration against the Manchu Qing, a popular stance in Japan. The organization joint…
The Contradictions of Legacy
The four generations of the Zheng family — Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Jing, and Zheng Keshuang — controlled maritime trade in East Asia during the seventeenth century, and opened up the island of Taiwan for Chinese settlement. This paper traces the evolving interpretations of their legacy in the People’s Republic of China from 1949 to the present day. It argues that every new interpretation brings with it fresh disagreements and negoti…
