Includes bibliographical references

China became the focus of European competition which threatened Great Britain's commercial and informal supremacy in East Asia, to which this study applies three British imperial themes: Ronald Robinson and John Gallagher's informal empire, John S. Galbraith's man-on-the-spot, and Ronald Robinson's non-European collaboration. The Foreign Office correspondence describes Britain's informal empire, open door policy, and the role of collaborators who augmented Britain's commercial presence in China by 1900.

520 $a China became the focus of European competition which threatened Great Britain's commercial and informal supremacy in East Asia, to which this study applies three British imperial themes: Ronald Robinson and John Gallagher's informal empire, John S. Galbraith's man-on-the-spot, and Ronald Robinson's non-European collaboration. The Foreign Office correspondence describes Britain's informal empire, open door policy, and the role of collaborators who augmented Britain's commercial presence in China by 1900.
520 $a Early chapters introduce British policy makers and man-on-the-spot, Sir Claude MacDonald. Chapters II and III survey Anglo-Chinese relations and informal empire before 1895, and analyze Lord Salisbury's strategy which produced the open door policy. Though sound, the open door received adverse criticism from Russophobic politicians, writers, and London Times correspondents. Chapter IV gives a biography of Sir Claude MacDonald. Chapter V explores the role of Sir Robert Hart and the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs Service. Hart's correspondence to James Duncan Campbell in London reveals how Hart used his position to protect British hegemony. Chapter VI describes Chinese railway concessions with regard to British policy, 1898-1899. Chapter VII details diplomatic activities of two Chinese loans to retire Sino-Japanese War indemnity payments. Both loans fell to a private Anglo-German financial consortium and produced trade and mining concessions for British companies. Chapter VIII explores Robinson's collaboration theme. English language documents and secondary sources covering 1895-1900 reveal certain compradors, scholar-officials, and the Chinese emperor, Kuang Hsu, as pro-British and worth protecting by MacDonald, British policy makers, and the Times.
