After the Sino-Japanese War, Britain leased Weihaiwei to check and balance Russia. As the situation in the Far East calmed down at the turn of the century, Weihaiwei's military value declined sharply and it became the "Cinderella of the British Empire" until it was returned in 1930. What the British did in Weihaiwei was to maintain their colonial rule. In short, the British lease of Weihaiwei was not an isolated historical event, but a part of a larger series of perspectives such as the advent of the era of competition between great powers in China, the adjustment of British policy in the Far East, and British colonial history. This book is divided into two parts: the outer part discusses the British policy and diplomacy on the issue of renting and occupying Weihaiwei, and the inner part discusses the British encounters and actions in Weihaiwei.
