The International Settlement
Since 1842 — Shanghai’s core is governed by foreign councils, policed by Sikhs and White Russians, and exempt from Chinese law — one of some ninety treaty ports, alongside leased Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhouwan and Qingdao. “Extraterritoriality” is the word every Chinese nationalist of this atlas grows up hating.
This is one scene of Chapter 1 — The Fall of the Qing in China in Revolution, 1911–1949.
