The company was set up by American Chinese Wu Jieqing to undertake the building of an electric tram line in Guangzhou after raising sufficient capital, which never became fully realised because of monetary disputes with the Guangzhou government, and smaller sections of the tramway had to be suspended because of multiple accidents.
