Fourteen years were to go by before Deutsche Bank again returned to EastAsia: within the framework of its participation in Deutsch-Asiatische Bank, which was founded with headquarters in Shanghai in 1889 by a syndicate of renowned stock corporation banks and private bankers.
The bank's principal activity was trade financing; but together with English and French banks, it also played an outstanding role in the underwriting of bonds for the Chinese government and in the financing of railway construction in China.
One after the other, the partner banks withdrew from their participations, and starting from the end of 1986 the bank was called "Deutsche Bank (Asia)", which was then merged into Deutsche Bank in 1987-88 with the 14 branches it had at that time.
