The most recent Japanese research on Chinese merchants can be broadly divided into four categories. First, there are studies of the history of overseas Chinese in Japan, in which the focus is generally on an analysis of the historical and social structure of resident Chinese communities (Uchida 1949; Koyama 1979; Kamachi 1980; Shiba 1981; Yamada 1983; Hishitani 1988; Suwaki and Yasui 1988). Second, Chinese merchants are dealt with in the context of writing a ‘‘positive history’’ of Asia rather than a ‘‘negative’’ mirror image of Europe, an example of which would be the study conducted by Takeshi Hamashita.

A large number of Shanghai capitalists who formed the core of the East Asian cluster of industrial technology and managerial know-how fled to the South in the late 1940s, to make a vital contribution to the industrial development in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and other countries in the postwar period. In summary, we recognize that the impact of the West was a major indirect influence on East Asia’s integration into the world economy. We nevertheless argue that, contrary to the assumptions behind the existing literature, it is essential to recognize the central importance of intra-Asian regional dynamics in accounting for the prewar economic development of Japan, China, and their neighboring countries.
