About Sir Robert Hart, 1st Baronet, GCMG
Sir Robert Hart, 1st Baronet GCMG, was a British diplomat and official in the Imperial Chinese government, who served as the second Inspector-General of China's Imperial Maritime Custom Service (IMCS) from 1863 to 1911.
According to Jung Chang, "Under Hart, Chinese Customs was transformed from an antiquated set-up, anarchical and prone to corruption, into a well-regulated modern organisation, which contributed enormously to China's economy."
