1840年鸦片战争以后,外国侵略者强迫中国订立了一系列不平等条约。他们还在中国沿海和内地的一些通商口岸,划出一部分土地,作为直接管理的租界。租界的建立,并无正式条约为凭,而是外国侵略者用欺诈手法,利用清政府官僚的愚昧无知而逐步形成的。这是外国侵略者插在中国躯体上一把把锐利的尖刀,也是中国封建官僚昏庸误国的铁证。 After the Opium War of 1840, foreign invaders forced China to conclude a series of unequal treaties. They also set aside a portion of the land along the Chinese coast and some ports of commerce in the Mainland as direct concessions. The establishment of the concession was not based on formal treaties. Instead, the foreign invaders gradually formed by using the deceitful tactics of the Qing government bureaucrats. This is evidence that a foreign intruder plunges into a sharpened sharp knife in the body of China and is also a fickle country of feudal bureaucrats in China.
