Features: This book focuses on the evolution of the personnel system of diplomatic officers in the Republic of China, as well as the study of their social networks and social structures. On the level of personnel systems, it examines aspects such as the selection, appointment, and evaluation of diplomatic officers, as well as their salaries and benefits, with an emphasis on the changes in China's diplomatic personnel administration since the establishment of modern diplomatic missions, particularly during the Republic of China period, and provides corresponding evaluations and assessments. Through this examination, it aims to grasp certain threads of the modernization of Chinese diplomacy. On the level of social structures such as the networks of diplomatic officers, it takes factors like their geographical distribution, age composition, educational backgrounds, party affiliations, and religious beliefs as the basis for detailed or relatively detailed empirical and comparative analyses and studies of the basic social composition of diplomatic officers in various periods of the Republic of China, in order to uncover certain characteristics of this group and the various factors influencing its composition, as well as their interactive relationships with modern Chinese society and politics. It should be noted that this book's research does not yet cover all aspects of this level, but for someone committed to historical research, it is believed that with the passage of time and sustained effort, a comprehensive elaboration can be made to further construct a complete historical image of this group.
