The Shanghai-Hong Kong-Singapore Network and Maritime Cultural Production

Robert J. Culp

During the first three decades of the twentieth century, the Commercial Press and Zhonghua Book Company developed book distribution networks that spread throughout China. This article demonstrates that they also extended those distribution networks internationally to Southeast Asia to sell books to overseas Chinese communities there. They first set up branch offices and affiliated retail centers in Singapore; from there, they disseminated books to cities and towns throughout the region. Both publishers also set up printing factories in Hong Kong, which facilitated the supply of books to the Southeast Asia market. These companies developed a transnational publishing strategy through which they gathered market information about demand in Southeast Asia, distilled it into a basis for compiling new products in Shanghai, used a flexible production system to print texts either in Shanghai or Hong Kong, and then distributed them through the regional marketing center of Singapore. This system took advantage of a semi-colonial/colonial urban network linking Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The transnational approach of the Chinese publishers paralleled that of the older English-language publishing company, Kelly & Walsh, Ltd., which had branches in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Yokohama. The publishers differed, however, in the structure of their transnational/trans-colonial production and distribution systems. Kelly & Walsh diversified their publications by recruiting potential authors in each of their locations and selling books locally. Each branch was thus a center for both publishing and distribution, creating an acephalous, or “headless,” network. By contrast, because textbooks, which were labor- and capital-intensive, were the leading commodities for the Commercial Press and Zhonghua Book Company, both publishers developed a hub-and-spoke system of centralized production and regional and international distribution. Through these distribution networks, these companies circulated books that contributed in distinctive ways to British and Chinese colonial projects.
