An unequal treaty is any of a series of treaties signed with Western powers during the 19th and early 20th centuries by Qing dynasty China and late Tokugawa Japan after suffering military defeat by the foreign powers or when there was a threat of military action by those powers. The term is also applied to treaties imposed during the same time period on late Joseon Korea by the post-Meiji Restoration Empire of Japan.
Starting with the rise of nationalism and anti-imperialism in the 1920s, the Kuomintang and Chinese Communist Party used these concepts to characterize the Chinese experience in losses of sovereignty between roughly 1839–1949. The term "unequal treaty" became associated with the concept of China's "Century of Humiliation", especially the forced opening of the treaty ports, the imposition of European extraterritoriality on foreigners living in China, and loss of tariff autonomy.
The historian Wang Dong concludes that "although the phrase has long been widely used, (unequal treaty) nevertheless lacks a clear and unambiguous meaning" and that there is "no agreement about the actual number of treaties signed between China and foreign countries that should be counted as 'unequal'." The term "unequal treaty" did not come into use until early in the 20th century. These treaties were considered unequal in China "because they were not negotiated by nations treating each other as equals but were imposed on China after a war, and because they encroached upon China's sovereign rights ... which reduced her to semicolonial status". In many cases China was effectively forced to pay large amounts of reparations, open up ports for trade, cede or lease territories (such as Hong Kong to Great Britain and Macau to Portugal), and make various other concessions of sovereignty to foreign "spheres of influence", following military defeats.

On this episode of China Uncensored, Chris Chappell takes you on a journey through time to give you a history lesson about China. Lately the Chinese Communist Party has been talking a lot about "hostile foreign forces" undermining China. Why is that? The Chinese government is looking for a scapegoat for today's societal ills. The East and West have had a turbulent history since the two worlds collided. Colonialism, unequal treaties, devastating war, and the opium trade created bad blood and mistrust between China and the rest of the world. The Chinese regime now tries to tap into those old wounds.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the demand for Chinese goods (particularly silk, porcelain, and tea) in the European market created a trade imbalance because the market for Western goods in China was virtually non-existent; China was largely self-sufficient and Europeans were not allowed access to China's interior. European silver flowed into China when the Canton System, instituted in the mid-17th century, confined the sea trade to Canton and to the Chinese merchants of the Thirteen Factories. The British East India Company had a matching monopoly of British trade. The British East India Company began to auction opium grown on its plantations in India to independent foreign traders in exchange for silver. The opium was then transported to the Chinese coast and sold to local middlemen who ...

The Chinese attempt to retake Canton by force failed. New British commanders took charge and would accept nothing less than total Chinese capitulation. They captured cities all the way up to Nanking, forcing the Emperor to negotiate. He had no choice but to accept an unequal treaty, kicking off a period of subservience to Europe which China still remembers today as the Century of Humiliation.

Today we finish our story of imperialism and capitalism by looking at the case of Japan and its successful transformation from a traditional agrarian feudal society into a modern industrial and imperial society. We talk about Matthew Perry and his "opening" of Japan, unequal treaties, and the attempt of Japanese reformers to match the Western challenge.
2015.10.14 Speaker: Douglas Clark Barrister/Author Topic: Gunboat Justice: Extraterritoriality and the Making of Modern China and Japan The 19th century unequal treaties that opened China, Japan and Korea to the West exempted foreigners from local laws - leaving them to be tried by their own consuls and their own laws. The system of extraterritoriality lasted for many decades in Japan and Korea and for over a century in China. Britain and America even established formal court systems. Mr. Clark told the story of these courts and the many challenging issues they faced including war, riots, rebellion, corruption, murder, infidelity, and, even, a failed hanging. But this was not just history. The reactions of China and Japan to the unequal treaties and extraterritoriality affect to this day...
The Shanghai International Settlement originated from the 1863 merger of the British and American enclaves in Shanghai, parts of the Qing Empire held extraterritorially under the terms of a series of Unequal Treaties.The settlements were established following the defeat of the Qing army by the British in the First Opium War .Under the terms of the Treaty of Nanking, the five treaty ports including Shanghai were opened to foreign merchants, overturning the monopoly then held by the southern port of Guangzhou under the Canton System.The British also established a base on Hong Kong under an extensive lease. ---Image-Copyright-and-Permission--- About the author(s): Lokal_Profil License: Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 (CC BY-SA 2.5) Author(s): Lokal_Profil (https://commons.wikime...

The Places The city of Shanghai, China's most important port, owes some of its prosperity to the so-called unequal treatises forced on China during the 19th century. The place had its origin as a settlement during the Tang dynasty (618-906 C.E.), but the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 ceded Hong Kong to the British and made possible the development of foreign trade through the five 'treaty ports', of which Shanghai became the most important. The growth of Shanghai into an international trading centre and the concessions made to various foreign countries explain the interesting mixture of architectural styles, continued today with the high-rise buildings of recent years.
