China–Korea Treaty of 1882

China–Korea Treaty of 1882

The China–Korea Treaty of 1882 was negotiated between representatives of the Qing Dynasty and the Joseon Dynasty[1] in October 1882.[2] This agreement has been described as the Joseon-Qing Communication and Commerce Rules;[1] and it has been called the Sino-Korean Regulations for Maritime and Overland Trade.[2] The treaty remained in effect until 1895.

Background

In 1876, Korea established a trade treaty with Japan after Japanese ships approached Ganghwado and threatened to fire on the Korean capital Hanseong. Treaty negotiations with several Western countries were made possible by the completion of this initial Japanese overture.[3]

In 1882, the Americans concluded a treaty and established diplomatic relations,[4] which served as a template for subsequent negotiations with other Western powers.

Treaty provisions

The Chinese and Koreans negotiated and approved a multi-article treaty with provisions affecting Korean diplomatic relations with Western nations.[5]

The Joseon-Qing Communication and Commerce Rules sought to mitigate the effects of increased diplomatic intercourse and expanded commercial relations with Western powers. The negotiated agreement caused unintended consequences.[1]
