Why is it important?
The paper offers a transnational framework to study the transnational ties among Chinese migrant merchants based in British colonies as well as their counterparts of ethnic Chinese merchants from Japanese Taiwan.
Perspectives
I collected materials of this paper while teaching courses on economic sociology and gender at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology as a visiting scholar in spring 2014. Around that time, I regularly attended seminars and lectures at the Southeast Asian Research Centre (SEARC) of City University of Hong Kong, and the first draft of the paper was presented at SEARC's workshop. The intellectual stimulus and the experiences of living in Hong Kong really inspired my thinking.
