Description

Explore the history of the Chinese Maritime Customs Service with this in-depth account from Routledge. This book examines a uniquely cosmopolitan institution established following China's defeat in the Opium Wars between 1842 and 1843. As a central part of the Treaty Port system, the service operated under British dominance and was led by Robert Hart. This study details how the customs administration grew to handle wide-ranging responsibilities. Beyond standard customs duties, the service managed marine and harbour maintenance, quarantine protocols, anti-piracy patrols, and postal services. The text follows the organization as it functioned at the meeting point of Chinese and foreign interests from 1854 to 1949. Part of the Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia series, this work provides a detailed look at a major administrative force in modern Asian history. It is an essential resource for readers interested in the history of Great Britain, maritime administration, and the development of international relations in China during the 19th and 20th centuries.
