You should distinguish between the May Fourth: Movement and the May Fourth Incident. The May Fourth Incident occurred in Peking, on May 4, 1919. Then many Chinese, students protested against foreign

imperialism in general

and the Japanese

aggression in Shantung

The May Fourth Movement referred to the new culture movement from about 1917 to about 1923.

in particular.

THE MAY FOURTH MOVEMENT

BACKGROUND AND, CAUSES- A. The growth of Chinese

nationalism.

Continued forei imperialism and

internal political

instability after 1911. spread patriotic feelings among more and more Chinese

people. Then, during the First World War (1914-18):

Japan's presentation of the 21 Demands to China în 1915 served to unify the angry Chinese people în the presence of a common external

... aggressor.

ii.The ideals of national

self-determination as advocated by President. Wilson of the US stimulated great

enthusiasm for

liberalism and

nationalism among

Chinese intellectuals.

B The rise of a

politically conscious

merchent class and

labour force. Chinese industry and commerce expanded greatly during the First World War, for the following reasons: Internally, the fall of the Ch'ing dynasty removed the

traditional checks on and prejudice against commerce and industry. ii.Externally, the

First World War led to a quick decline of European industries and trade with Asia. This gave China industries a good opportunity to develop her industry.

C. The rise of

a new

modern intellectual class -

The introduction of modern, Western education in China since late Ch'ing times created a class of modern Chinese intellectuals. They realized China's backwardness and were eager to save their country.

The emergence of treaty-ports and large cities in China- Both foreign economic imperialism and internal reform in late Ch'ing times contributed to the emergence of many. prosperous treaty ports and cities

along the China coast. Modern foreign ideas were quickly popularized in these. places.

E. The failure of

political revolution

clear that the 1911.

Revolution had failed

to strengthen China.

THE MAY FOURTH INCIDENT IN 1919

A.

Immediate causes

Toward the end of the First World War, many Chinese hoped that, as rewards for China's contributions of war effort and in accordance with the President Wilson's idealistic principles, the formerly German concessions (seized by Japan in Shantung in. 1914) would be returned to China. At the Versailles Conference of 1919 however, it turned out that Britain, France and Italy had already secretly agreed to support Japan in. retaining the se concessions. This aroused great anger among nationalist Ch

some. In protest,

5,000 students, mainly from the Peita University (tà, ABB), held a large-scale demonstration in Peking on May 4, 1919. This was the May Fourth Incident.

Course

Similar demonstrations were held in other

cities, such as Tientsin, Shanghai, Nanking and Canton, The newly organized labour unions also joined the nation-wide movement. Soon, even merchants joined the movement by closing their shops in a merchant's strike, There was ✡ general. boycott of Japanese goods.

C. Results

The immediate

achievements of the May Fourth Incident were limited;

Despite China's objections, the great powers at Versailles still decided to leave the Shantung concessions in Japanese hands. In China,

demonstration soon cooled down, and patriotic societies. elsewhere failed to cooperate for joint, powerful action. Nevertheless, the students in Peking succeeded in embarrassing and bringing down the warlord government. Also, the Chinese representatives at the Versailles

Conference did withhold from

siguing the peace treaty.

SIGNIFICANCE AND EFFECTS Although student demonstrations on May 1919 highlighted it, the May Fourth Movement actually extended from about 1917 to 1923.. A. Intellectual significance

1. Popularization of

modern, Western ideas - Modern ideas from the West were widely accepted by Chinese intellectu- als, ideas like... democracy, liberal- ism, socialism,

pragmatism (i.e. a theory that the truth and value of an idea depends on the practical effects it brings to human

報日僑

interests), and

utilitarianism (i.e a theory that

emphasizes practical

usefulness of things. not their outward beauty).

Criticism and

abandonsent of tradition In the past, the Confucian tradition of cultural self-sufficiency and superiority made Chinese scholars unwilling to borrow from foreign

cultures. In the May Fourth Movement, however, Chinese

measured themselves. against modern western ideas.

iii.Rise t

of democratic

Many of the modern ideas might not be actually put into practice. Yet the democratic spir that they brought destroyed the cultural tradition, of the past,

Literary significance.

i Introduction of the

pai-hua-During the May Fourth Movement, classical written Chinese (men-yen was rejected. The Pai- hua (6), which was written vernacular Chinese, was introduced.

ii.Rising literacy rate.

In traditional China, only the scholar class knew classical written Chinese because the language was difficult to learn and different from spoken Chinese. The pai-hua, however was colloquial and easier. Efforts to popularize the pai-hua during the May Fourth period had thus the effect of raising the literacy rate fñ

society (i.e. mor people were able to read and write).

Social significance

Expansion of popular education and rise of public opinion The popularity of the pai-hua and the Western idea of progress contributed to the growth of popular education. This in turn contributed to the rise of modern

public opinion in China.

Attack on social traditions

Social traditions of.

the past were under attack. The old.

family system, for example, was

condemned by young intellectuals.

Instead, the ideal of nuclear families was advocated. Young people began to demand indivídual freedom from the traditional collec- tive way of living. Young girls rose to attack the tradition al discrimination against women. Co-education and marriage besed on love were advocated. iii.Increased political consciousness among the new social

strengthened the force of modern

Chinese nationalism Student and labour. movements grew increasingly active ii. Rise of politicized

student movement

In the May Fourth- Movement, students discovered that organized propaganda and demonstrations could bring positive, results. Student movements of a political nature were in this way stimulated..

iii.Contribution, to'

national unification- The anti-warlord activities of the May Fourth Movement aroused great concern for China's political di sunity. This factor indirectly contri buted to the national unification of 1928.

LIMITATIONS AND SHORTCOMINGS

A. Lack of determination,

coordination and

planning.

Many of the May Fourth activities were short- lived and failed to bring about long-term and basic changes. For example, there were. few efforts in coordinating the different anti- imperialist activi and most of these activities were unplanned.

Uncritical acceptance of Western ideas and rejection of Chinese: tradition

In changing China's culture, modern intellectuals had the habit of destroying tradition and replacing it with Western culture. In su

doang, however, they sometimes did not succeed in building up a new Chinese culture.

Limited practical achievement's

The immediate and political achievements of the May Fourth Incident were limited. Other than success in bringing down a

warlord government in 1919, the Movement as a whole failed to so solve Chinas

political problems. Warlords remained as powerful as they had

been, and foreign

imperialism still

existed.

Hong Kong as a Financial Centre

Hong Kong continues to develop as a financial centre in 1980s. The government has been taking steps to improve the statistical

information it obtains on developments in the nonetary sector, and also to extend and improve the system of supervision and control applied to all institutions taking deposits from the public.

Hong Kong has a number of institutional factors which make it a financial centre. First, there is a low degree of specialia8– tion. Second, there is no central bank or central monetary authority. Third, there is no marketable government debt, and the total public debt is extremely low. Fourth, there is a well-developed foreign exchange market, with no exchange control of any sort.
