Book Description
Excerpt from The Commercial Law Affecting Chinese; With Special Reference to Partnership, Registration, and Bankruptcy Laws in Hongkong: Reprinted From the China We remarked above that Chinese mer chants and tradesmen naturally brought with them to Hongkong the trade ia stincts and habits of China and quietly transplanted to English soil, unhindered, their national institutions of guilds and and trades unions. We must add now that they not merely brought with them their national system of em ploying middlemen for all mercantile operations, but successfully compelled, in the quietest possible manner, even foreign merchants to employ middlemen likewise. These middlemen have be come known, on the Chinese side, in the commercial intercourse between Chi nese and foreigners, under the hybrid name Macheen (a Chinese corruption of the, to them nnpronounceable, term Merchant) as the designation of the representatives of Chinese firms dealing with foreigners, and on the European side, under the name Compradore (a term borrowed from the Portuguese language) as the Chinese representative servants of foreign firms dealing with Chinese. Now it is important to note that the Chinese middleman or broker, as represented by the Macheen of Hong kong, has a different position here from that which he occupies in China. In China he is simply a broker, responsible at every moment to a paternal but cruel government, and occupies a position analogous, in some respects, to that of a sworn broker of London, but liable to criminal proceedings, involving corporal punishment, even for acts coming: under that vague and doubtfiil category of encouraging unfair trade, which makes his position one ofextreme personal risk.

Book Description
Economic history deals with daily life, but also goes beyond that to interpret the important turning points which made daily life possible. This book demonstrates why Hong Kong was so successful as a commercial, industrial and financial city at different times in its history and how these major changes made an impact on the life of its people. The documents selected for inclusion illustrate vividly problems confronted by entrepreneur and government at every stage in these changes. An outline history provided in the general introduction and to every chapter brings coherence to the different themes which emerge throughout the book. “It will be treasured for its strong historical dimension, solid documents, and insightful statements. The appropriate selection of sources will please not only professional socioeconomic historians, but also the reading public with highly interesting and important topics ranging from the voice of business, the legal infrastructure, to the opium issue, the sterling crisis, and so on.” — Professor Yip Hon Ming, History Department, The Chinese University of Hong Kong “This book has provided in one place the most useful research materials for studying the economic history of Hong Kong, a subject which deserves more attention. The thematic approach is most helpful and the introductory comments to the book and each chapter are extremely insightful. It is highly recommended for serious researchers and general readers alike.” — Edward K Y Chen, President, Lingnan University

Book Description
The rapid and continuing development of the Chinese economy and its markets has made business with China an integral component of the strategies of countless foreign companies, regardless of their size or form. However, in order to turn opportunities into successful enterprises, managers need a practical guide on the legal aspects of conducting business in China, and on the strategies for effectively circumventing unnecessary risks while simultaneously using the legal system to strengthen operations and protect interests. This remarkable book provides the necessary insight and guidance to devise a corporate strategy, and to tackle issues relating to common aspects of doing business with Chinese counterparts, investing in a Chinese enterprise, and engaging in business operations there. Drawing on expertise gained during eight years in China serving the legal needs of foreign companies, the author shows how many of the mistakes that foreign companies make can easily be avoided by conducting a proper due diligence and understanding how applicable laws work in practice. He clearly describes the opportunities and pitfalls exposed as a foreign investor engages with such elements of business in China as the following: negotiating a detailed written contract; performing a legal and commercial due diligence on a prospective partner; resolving disputes through negotiation, arbitration or litigation; establishing and enforcing trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights; investing in China; considering the joint venture structure; expanding through a merger or acquisition; restructuring or liquidating an operation; designing and implementing effective corporate governance; retaining, managing and terminating employees; arranging funds into and out of China; ensuring both tax efficiency and tax compliance; and avoiding criminal liabilities in the course of doing business. Whether seeking to source from China or to establish manufacturing facilities in China to produce for export, to sell products or services on the domestic market, or even just to act as a conduit between China and the outside world, business managers and their counsel from all over the globe and across all industries will benefit enormously from this deeply informed, insightful, and practical guide
