Standard Oil and Petroleum Development in Early Republican China*

Noel H. Pugach

Business History Review, 1971, vol. 45, issue 4, 452-473

Abstract: Despite the efforts of American government officials, attempts to establish a joint Chinese-American company to develop China's petroleum potential met with failure during the initial years of the Wilson administration. Duplicity and misunderstanding on the part of Standard Oil and of the Chinese government added another chapter to the dismal history of American business in China.
