| September 7, 2001 marks a special day for China
and even some developed countries. On this day one century ago,
namely, September 7, 1901, the Eight Power Allied Forces formed
by Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Japan, Russia,
Austria and Italy forced the Qing Government to sign the most
insolent and unequal Protocol in human civilization. That year
was the Year of Xinchou in Chinese lunar calendar, so the Protocol,
officially the Protocol of 1901, is historically known
as the Protocol of Xinchou. Photos in this illustrated
book present a true picture of this period of history. |
