Bank of China
Bank of China appears in EP23 民国金融往事：《追风者》背后的天才少年与银行体系 as one of the “four banks” in Republican China Banking System. The episode associates it with international exchange, trade settlement, and the Bund building history that links financial institutions to Shanghai’s urban and family-capital geography.
In the source, Bank of China is not just a modern bank name. It is part of a wider institutional story in which central banking, commercial banking, trade finance, foreign banks, and state finance coexisted in Republican-era Shanghai.
No.205 ⛵️ 潮汕往事：侨批、经济特区和没有等来的深圳奇迹 adds Bank of China as the formal endpoint for Qiaopi Remittance Networks. In the episode’s Chaoshan / 潮汕 branch, qiaopi offices and related remittance business were gradually brought under bank administration by the late 1970s, marking the end of the older private courier-and-batch-office system.
136.银行理财还能怎么买？ adds a modern bank wealth-management note. The episode says 银保监会 approved Bank of China and China Construction Bank to establish the first bank wealth-management subsidiaries on 2018-12-26, making BOC part of the post-资管新规 transition branch.
