Note(s)In the foreground center, the SMC Hanbury School for Boys. The building was taken over in March 1939 by the Bureau of Liaison of the Asia Development Board (????????). The Asia Development Board was set up with the explicit purpose to contribute to the development of economic relations between Japan and China in the framework of the so-called Sphere of Co-prosperity. It actually functionned as an organ aimed at taking over the control of the major economic sectors in China and to monitor trade and industrial activity in the country. A bureau of liaison was set up in Central China in the Shanghai region with a military officer at its head (with a frequent turnover). In November 1941, the ADB became the sole agency in charge of coordinating all the Japanese government agencies in China and, in April 1942, the sole organ through which Chinese merchants could trade commodities under a strict licensing system. The Central China Bureau became the supervisory agency for all economic activities in Shanghai. See Henriot, 1999. In the back, one can see the railtrack of the Wusong line (left to right, middle of the picture) and the Tiantongan (???) station.
