  • Handicraft And Manufactured Cotton Textiles In China, 1871–1910

    Albert FeuerwerkerCHAPTERKey Papers on Chinese Economic…2008

    How much of the increased consumption of machine-made cotton yarn and cloth in nineteenth- and twentieth-century China represented a net increase in the total consumption of cotton goods? What part of the increment merely denoted a shift of the source of supply from rural handicraft to factory production—in Shanghai and Tientsin and, in the form of imports, in overseas mills? These questions, of course, are only part of the more inclusive problem…

    I am greatly honored to have had the opportunity to serve as president of the Association for Asian Studies during the past year, and I am cognizant of the distinction of this afternoon's occasion. This being Washington, where everything is "political"-even more so perhaps than in Beijing-my original thought was to deliver a political sermon on a theme something like "Bush in China." In fact, I found a possible text for my homily: a book publishe…

  • The foreign presence in China

    Open AccessAlbert FeuerwerkerCHAPTERThe Cambridge History of China1983

    The foreign establishment in early republican China had many facets: territory, people, rights established by treaty or unilaterally asserted, armed force, diplomacy, religion, commerce, journalism, freebooting adventure, racial attitudes. This chapter describes briefly the dimensions of each of the principal guises in which the foreigner impinged upon the polity, economy, society and mind of China. In the absence of modern financial institutions…

  • Economic trends in the late Ch'ing empire, 1870–1911

    Open AccessAlbert FeuerwerkerCHAPTERThe Cambridge History of China1980

    This chapter provides an analysis of the structure and development of Chinese agriculture in the nineteenth century and its implications for the rest of the economy. It discusses the single rural handicraft in the nineteenth century. The agricultural sector of the Chinese economy in the last decades of the Ch'ing dynasty was characterized by a factor mix in which land and capital were in short supply and the superabundance of labour was subject t…

    To put it directly, in the last section of his essay where Pro- fessor Lippit offers his &dquoown understanding of the development of underdevelopment&dquo in China, the author-with the innocence of a first kiss-discovers the gentry and Confucianism.Possibly there are yet some students of modern China to whom it is a novel proposition that the interests of the mainstream of the gentry and the Confucian ideology which protected them were inimical …

    It is frequently implied that there is something peculiarly "Chinese," derived from the millennia of a separate and remarkable cultural tradition, which operates to motivate the foreign relations of the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.). It is, of course, absurd to expect that there would be no residue of the past at work in the present, even after the profound revolutionary changes that China has undergone in the past century. That persistence…
