History of Sino-french Relations
by Ge Fuping
About This Novel
China and France, one in East Asia and the other in Western Europe, are both big countries with splendid cultures. The first contact between China and France took place in the mid-13th century. After that, the two countries began close exchanges in culture and other fields. This friendly relationship lasted until the 19th century. With the development of French capitalism in the 19th century, this beneficial cultural exchange relationship between China and France was replaced by the relationship between aggression and being invaded. From participating in the robbery of the Old Summer Palace and forcing the Qing government to sign the "Beijing Treaty" to coveting the southwest border, to the war between China and France, and then to the Before the Revolution of 1911, and even the outbreak of the Laoxi Kai Incident and the Golden Franc Case, France gradually extended its claws of aggression to China and expanded its rights in China step by step. It was not until the founding of the People's Republic of China in October 1949 that Sino-French relations opened a new page.
