The Kaiping Enterprise was the first successful, large scale effort to introduce Western technology and methods into Chinese industrial production. This serves as a case study on Chinese attitudes towards Western industrialzation from the mid-19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. Ellsworth Carlson also investigates how the Chinese political, social, and economic environment necessitate modification or abandonment of Western influences.
