Chamber of Commerce History
by Yu Heping
About This Novel
In 1904, China's first chamber of commerce, the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, was established. Subsequently, chambers of commerce were established throughout China. By 1918, the total number of chambers of commerce across the country had increased to nearly 1,500, and the number continued to increase thereafter. They began to occupy an important position in China's modern economic activities and became a relatively mature industrial and commercial group organization. As their power grew, they intervened in the "constitutional" movement, got involved in the "Revolution of 1911", resisted the "Twenty-One Movement", and supported the "May 4th" movement. They influenced modern China's politics, economy and diplomacy, and occupied an indelible position in modern Chinese history.
