It existed from 1906 to 1943 and had jurisdiction in civil and criminal matters, with appeals taken to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco . Before the establishment of the UnitedStatesCourt for China, US citizens were tried in the US Consular Courts in China. The UnitedStatesCourt for China was similar in structure to the British Supreme Court for China and Japan that had been established in Shanghai in 1865 and also ceased to exist in 1943 when both Britain and the UnitedStates gave up extraterritorial rights in China.
