Description
Protocol signed on 7 September 1901 in the Spanish Legation in Peking. Diana Preston (1999) p.233.Li Hongzhang "was a prominent Chinese diplomat and statesman. Li was active in diplomacy from 1871, beijing concerned with the writing of most of China's treaties and agreements with foreign powers from that data. In 1898, however, when the reform movement was under way, he was dismissed from the [Zongli Yamen] and his high official posts. He remained in the Civil Service and when the Boxer Uprising occurred he was serving in [Guangdong] as Governor-General of [Guangdong] province. As he was regarded as being acceptable to the foreign powers, he was appointed by the Court to conduct the negotiations when the Chinese armies were defeated in the north [at the end of the Boxer Uprising]."
