Chinese Business Groups: In Hong Kong and Political Changes 1900-1920s in South China

Traces the rise and fall of two competing groups of Chinese merchants who were residing in Hong Kong but were politically active in Guandong politics during the period. Major themes are the development of a national orientation in politics outside the colony by Cantonese in British Hong Kong, the part of overseas Chinese in the creation of political ideology of modern China, and politics as a business investment in Republican Guandong.
