Abstract

When Japan invaded China in July 1937, Chinese industrial companies sought collaboration agreements with foreign engineers to protect their assets against war and occupation. At the same time, the core business of foreign engineers, the machinery trade, came to a standstill. This chapter aims to analyze the strategy of business diversification of a transnational engineering company called China Engineers Limited during the period of China’s war with Japan. The agreements of all types that this company reached with Chinese firms demonstrate that there was a powerful logic of globalization in the alliance between Chinese industrial firms and transnational engineering companies.
