束缚下的突破:民初中外对领事裁判权的博弈--以1912年苏佑泰案为例

Breakthrough in the Bondage:The Game of Consular Jurisdiction in the 1912 Case of Su Youtai in the Early Republic of China

1912年4月,上海租界内发生了一起日本人谋杀中国人的刑事案件,引发了热烈的舆论讨论与关注。此时正值中华民国初创,政权更迭,内外形势复杂,经过中方努力交涉,该案最终以中方胜诉,日本人被判以无期徒刑并赔款结案。此案件的处理一定程度上维护了国权与民权,为日后处理类似案件提供了借鉴。通过这个案件可以关注到近代中国人在领事裁判权限制之下谋求权益最大化所做出的努力,为领事裁判权研究提供了新视角。

In April 1912,a criminal case of a Japanese murdering a Chinese occurred in Shanghai concession,which aroused heated public discussion and concern.At that time,the Republic of China was in its infancy.With the regime change,the internal and external situations were complicated.After China′s efforts,the case was finally won by China,and the Japanese were sentenced to life imprisonment and compensation.To a certain extent,the result safeguarded national and civil rights,and provided a reference for the future handling of similar cases.Through this case,we can see the efforts of modern Chinese people to maximize their rights and interests under the restriction of consular jurisdiction.It provides a new perspective for the study of consular jurisdiction.
