	MSN Encarta - Archive Article - 1938: China
		Before Hankow finally fell on Oct. 26, the Chinese had withdrawn from the city and were able to get their soldiers out in good order and with practically no losses.
		To the average person, and even to many able commentators on Far Eastern affairs, the fall of Hankow meant that China had virtually been conquered by Japan, since her entire coastline was in control of the Japanese, and all her principal cities had been occupied by the invaders.
		While the loss of Hankow must be acknowledged a very serious blow to China, it was not so immediately serious as the loss of Canton, which had been the only port of entry through which munitions arriving at Hong Kong could reach the Chinese armies.

		The melting of the snows on the Tibetan highlands combined with the summer rainfall causes an annual rise in the river of from 70 to 90 ft. at Chungking and from 40 to 50 at Hankow and Kiukiang.
		Between Hankow and Ich'ang, especially above the outlet from Tungt'ing lake, the volume of water diminishes very much, and as the channel is continually shifting with the shifting sand-banks, navigation is more difficult.
		This policy was more fully declared by mutual engagements entered into in 1900 by the Great Powers on the initiative of the United States, whereby each undertook to guarantee equality of treatment to the commerce of all nations within its own sphere.

	AN AUSTRALIAN IN CHINA
		Hankow, the Chinese say, is the mart of eight provinces and the centre of the earth.
		Hankow is on the left bank of the Yangtse, separated only by the width of the Han river from Hanyang, and by the width of the Yangtse from Wuchang; these three divisions really form one large city, with more inhabitants than the entire population of the colony of Victoria.
		Among the most comfortable residences in Hankow are the quarters of the missionaries; and it is but right that the missionaries should be separated as far as possible from all discomfort--missionaries who are sacrificing all for China, and who are prepared to undergo any reasonable hardship to bring enlightenment to this land of darkness.

		We had already sent on to the delegate's Chinese assistant (a Hankow man, and one that had visited and knew well the chief trading cities of Szechuen) in a small boat from Foochow to prepare quarters for our reception, and this man met us with chairs at the landing-place, and we were agreeably disappointed.
		No opportunity was lost of testing the speed of the current, although in the immediate vicinity of the rapids this had to be estimated, owing to the junk being tracked up close to the shore where the current's forse was not so much felt.
		The river between Ichang and Yoh-chow is of similar nature as below Hankow, and quite as nagivable for vessels of seven feet draught from the beginning of April to the end of September.

		Hankow remained the headquarters of British business within the Yangtze Valley and prospered without the need for special protection or naval gunboats until the advent of the 1937 Japanese War.
		In a settlement, such as at Shanghai, foreigners might lease land directly from native proprietors, who could as well hold properties for their own use." Except in emergencies access to settlements was open to all comers.

	William T
		In comparing Hankow to comparably developed cities of pre-modern Europe, Rowe is struck by the relative lack of large-scale social conflict in Hankow.
		What is unique to Hankow and likely other cities, Rowe clearly shows, is the rise of new urban institutions like benevolent halls and an early form of a professional police force, staffed by locals for local protection.
		Despite minor shortcomings the study remains a watershed for the study of late Qing cities.

		Militarily, their ultimate purpose lay in smashing the Chiang Kai-shek regime and terminating the war in the course of the year by capturing Hankow.
		Following the old saying that "The one who controls the Wuchang- Hankow area controls China," Japanese forces conducted these operations with a view to achieving the over-all political objective of bringing Chiang's regime to its knees by gaining control of the Yangtze River and capturing Hankow.
		This operation, as had the capture of Hankow, dealt a tremendous blow to the Chiang Kai-shek regime, but failed to achieve its surrender.

		But we need not doubt that under the influence of the recent extremely disquieting telegrams from Hankow, Moscow is sending advice there with approximately the following content: “As much of the agrarian revolution as possible”; “as many of the masses as possible in the Guomindang”, and so forth.
		The Communist ministers transmit these counsels to the government and to the Central Executive Committee of the Guomindang.
