中丹《天津条约》缔结始末

The Signing Process of Tianjin Treaty between China and Denmark

1863年丹麦公使拉斯勒福径自赴华谋求与清政府订立条约。在英美使节及中国代理总税务司英人赫德的密谋和协助下,缺乏近代外交理念的颟顸清政府轻易与丹麦订立了几乎囊括各国在华权益的《天津条约》,并丧失了诸多新的权益。中丹《天津条约》签订的教训值得后人汲取和反思。

In 1863, Raasloff, the Danish minister came and wanted to sign a treaty with China. With the Help of the envoys from England and America, and Hart, the Inspect-General of Chinese Martime Customs Service, the Qing Government, who was lack of diplomatic experience, signed Tianjin Treaty with Denmark, which almost included all the rights and interests that the western powers stole from China. Furthermore, Danmark gained many new rights and interests. There is much of lesson for vigilance and thought from Tianjin Treaty.
