从东北洋债计划看徐世昌的外交思想

Xu Shi-chang's Diplomatic Thought from the Northeast Foreign Loan Plan

1907年4月,徐世昌任东三省总督。为抵制日俄尤其是日本向东北地区的侵略扩张,他抛出举借洋债计划,积极与美、英、法等国商谈借款兴办银行及修筑铁路事宜。将原本属于经济行为的引资借债附加了浓厚的政治色彩,外交抗争的意味彰显无疑,用心良苦,应可鉴宥。然而由于日俄抵制,其商业利益未能实现,政治目的亦最终落空。但徐的均势外交思想在近代史上却产生了深远的影响。

In April, 1907, Xu Shi-chang was appointed governor of the eastern provinces. In order to resist the Russian and Japanese invasion of northeast area, especially the expansion of Japan, he put forward the borrowing foreign debt plan and actively initiated the plans to open banks and the construction of the railways with Great Britain, France and other countries. The original economic behavior was shed with strong political color. The diplomatic struggle was obvious. However, the business interest hadn＇t been achieved, nor was the political goal. But Xu＇s balanced diplomacy has far-reaching influence in modern history.
