Abstract

The article deals with the decision of British firm Jardine, Matheson & Co. to end trading with China. Following the Communists' victory in mainland China, several British firms such as Butterfield & Swire and Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corp. had the misguided notion that they could do profitable business with Communist leader Mao Tse-tung. The foreign firms faced big taxes, confiscations and bans against layoffs.
