Research Abstract |
In the latter half of the 19th century (during the late Qing era), the Chinese government attempted to reform the wealth and power in China through the partial introduction of the modern West's diplomatic and commercial system. In the past, consular jurisdiction was regarded as the system that Asian countries were compelled to use by Western countries in accordance with an "unequal treaty." However, the Chinese government also attempted to introduce consular jurisdiction to other East Asian countries. By examining the cases of Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, this study elucidated that China sought to move a country toward modernism by using consular jurisdiction.
