“The Last Kings of Shanghai: The Rival Jewish Dynasties That Helped Create Modern China” traces the remarkable legacies of the Sassoons and the Kadoories, two Jewish families who stood astride Chinese business and politics, particularly in Shanghai and Hong Kong, over the past 175 years. Drawing on his extensive experience reporting on China, Professor Kaufman shared his thoughts with YCW on how the two families shaped the DNA of Shanghai and Hong Kong, and how their histories contributed to China’s current geopolitical development.
