First published in 1987. Great Britain secured and expanded its
informal empire in China during the five years following the
Sino-Japanese War. From 1895 through 1900 Lord Salisbury accepted
England's traditional, commercially oriented China policy and
adapted it to dramatically altered political conditions in East
Asia. Through the efforts of Sir Claude MacDonald, Britain met the
commercial and political challenges of its European competitors and
implemented the "open door," a strong but maligned policy. With the
assistance of Britain's indigenous collaborators, England managed
to maintain a greatly weakened Manchu dynasty and to increase its
financial, commercial, and informal political power in China
without the use of military force or formal alliance. In order to
help the reader understand Britain's informal empire in China, the
author reviews the historical background which brought China into
Britain's expanding economy.
