- China Merchants' Steam Navigation Company
China Merchants' Steam Navigation Company was a transportation company founded on December 16, 1872, by then Prime Minister Li Hongzhang during the Self-strengthening movement in China. Eighty percent of the startup capital was provided by native Chinese, making this the first transportation company using modern technology not based on foreign ownership.
