Features: A History of Chinese Diplomacy (The Period from the Opium War to the Xinhai Revolution, 1840-1911) was used as a teaching material by the Department of History of China's Foreign Relations at the Diplomatic Academy of China in 1965, printed in lead type and distributed internally. Considering the need for systematic works on the history of Chinese diplomacy in society, some revisions have been made to the original book, and it is now published publicly. The book is divided into eight chapters, covering topics such as the Second Opium War and China-foreign relations after the war, the foreign relations of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Second Opium War, and changes in China-foreign relations after the Second Opium War. It primarily exposes the imperialist aggression against China and the Qing government's traitorous policy of compromise with foreign powers. The book is comprehensive, well-organized, has clear viewpoints, and is supported by substantial evidence. It has high theoretical, scientific, and historical value and can be referenced by relevant individuals.
