Chang's $200000 pocket money sparks Chinese commission tour
The Chinese Commercial Commission led by Chang travels the Pacific Coast in a 11140 mile circuit. Chang and his son Ying Ming Changs attract attention as wealthy, multilingual figures. The elder Chang, dubbed the Rockefeller of China, is said to be worth at least $100 million. They discuss business ventures from rubber to wine, and endure formal dinners as they visit factories and banks. A $200000 credit is cashed in San Francisco to fund gifts, trips, and hospitality, while samples of American goods impress and trigger questions on women’s suffrage.
