The Chinese treaty port system that provided foreigners access to the China market, evolved over fifty years into a complex network in which the merchants who lived in China for trade put national considerations aside and worked together for personal, commercial profits. This mutual accommodation is reflected in the Municipal Council of the Shanghai International Settlement, the foreign-administered territory which formed the hub of the treaty port system. The wealthiest of the foreign China merchants were elected to govern the cosmopolitan population of foreigners and Chinese who lived there. Chinese residents of the Settlement enjoyed no civil rights; the Chinese Chamber of Commerce represented them informally, taking their part before the Council when emergencies arose. The Chamber thus filled the same role in relation to the foreign Council as the old Chinese guilds had played in the traditional Chinese bureaucratic government.

520 $a The Chinese treaty port system that provided foreigners access to the China market, evolved over fifty years into a complex network in which the merchants who lived in China for trade put national considerations aside and worked together for personal, commercial profits. This mutual accommodation is reflected in the Municipal Council of the Shanghai International Settlement, the foreign-administered territory which formed the hub of the treaty port system. The wealthiest of the foreign China merchants were elected to govern the cosmopolitan population of foreigners and Chinese who lived there. Chinese residents of the Settlement enjoyed no civil rights; the Chinese Chamber of Commerce represented them informally, taking their part before the Council when emergencies arose. The Chamber thus filled the same role in relation to the foreign Council as the old Chinese guilds had played in the traditional Chinese bureaucratic government.
520 $a International Settlement was said to be a model for Chinese democratic reform. In fact, the government was a plutocracy which only worked because of the complex interrelationships formed between the multi-national traders in the port. During the First World War, this network broke down under the stress of war-bred patriotic nationalism and the rapid redistribution of wealth on the China market. As China's native capitalists' profits grew, they took advantage of the fissures they saw forming in foreign solidarity and demanded a larger role in their own government. They were successful in blocking the expansion of the International Settlement in 1915 and in acquiring elected Chinese advisors to the Municipal Council in 1920. Foreigners misinterpreted the strength of national pride behind the growing Chinese demands for full civil rights in the International Settlement. They reacted with increased rigidity because of their own war-time experiences. By failing to give Chinese residents the municipal participation they sought, they exposed the model settlement as a sham forcing Chinese to look elsewhere for political models after 1921.
