The Sino-British Negotiation on“Compensation Issue”after the Second British War of Aggression against China’s Xizang

英国第二次侵藏战争后中英关于“赔款问题”的交涉,是双方重订“拉萨条约”和谈判《中英藏印通商章程》中的焦点问题之一。英方将缴清赔款作为“撤军”条件,企图把赔款期限拖至25年,从而攫取25年的驻军权利。中方经过激烈的外交斗争,最终争取到了由清政府承担赔款,分三年三期缴清赔款后,英国撤走驻亚东英军的结果。清政府与英国交涉“赔款问题”的过程虽然曲折,但所取得的结果,对抵制侵略,维护主权具有十分重要的意义。

The Sino-British negotiation on"compensation issue"after the Second British War of Aggression against China’s Xizang was one of the key issues in the re-establishment of Lhasa Convention and the negotiation of Agreement Between Great Britain,China and Tibet Amending Trade Regulations of 1893.The British side took the payment of compensation as the condition of"withdrawal",and tried to delay the compensation period to 25 years,so as to seize the right to garrison for 25 years.After a fierce diplomatic struggle,China finally won the result that the British troops in Yadong withdrew after the Qing government paid the compensation in three years.Although the process of negotiation between the Qing government and Britain was tortuous,the results achieved were of great significance for resisting aggression and safeguarding sovereignty.
