Abstract	This paper examines a remarkable artifact of international business education, a four-book business Chinese language series published in Shanghai from 1916 to 1933 by a Japanese business school. Language-centered business education, they concluded, could break Japanese dependence on intermediaries and provide a significant competitive advantage over their western competitors. We carefully tabulate the main content of each chapter in this textbook series and draw on the theory of Situated Learning for our analysis. We find specific lessons in this historical content for teachers, business faculties, and government agencies currently tasked with improving today's international business programming with respect to the dynamic Chinese business environment.
