British Trade to Singapore and Hong Kong

A. J. H. Latham

Chapter 5 in Decline and Recovery in Britain’s Overseas Trade, 1873–1914, 1993, pp 77-89 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is often assumed that in the late nineteenth century the key trading links in South-East Asia were between the European colonies there, and their respective metropolitan centres. But this chapter will show that this was not true. There existed a mesh of intra-Asian trade of greater importance, and within this, British trade with her colonies of Singapore and Hong Kong was of minor significance.
