The "Xin Chou Treaty" is the most humiliating treaty signed by the Qing government and other powers after Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, such as the compensation for ceding land. This is an old story, and it was in many unequal treaties before. However, in other provisions of the Xin Chou Treaty, "Dongjiaominxiang in Beijing is designated as the embassy boundary, allowing countries to station troops for protection, and China people are not allowed to live. The Qing government promised to prohibit people from participating in the anti-imperialist movement. " But also dismantled the Dagu Fort.
In other words, the presence of foreign troops on my land in China shows that we are no longer a sovereign country. In our own land, we can't help but see foreigners bullying and oppressing the people of China, because the Qing government at that time had completely obeyed the will of the empire and helped the imperialist countries suppress the people of China in China. Therefore, with the signing of the Xin Chou Treaty, China lost its national sovereignty, which shows that we are no longer a sovereign country, and we have been colonized by others. Therefore, the Xin Chou Treaty is the most shameful unequal treaty in the history of China.

The compensation of the Xin Chou Treaty was calculated according to the population of China at that time. One person pays one tael of silver, totaling 450 million taels. The 450 million taels will be repaid in 39 years, with an annual interest rate of 4%. This means that the Qing government has to compensate more than 982 million taels with interest, and the provinces and localities have to compensate 200 million taels. Therefore, the Qing government needed to pay more than 654.38 billion taels of silver, which was twelve times the income of the Qing government.
However, in 1904, the price of silver fell, and the powers forced the Qing government to exchange debts for gold goods, and also exchanged the reparations already paid for gold prices, making the Qing government pay 8 million taels more. The reparations of France, Belgium and Italy have been paid in francs. But with the devaluation of the franc after World War I, these three countries proposed to pay in dollars. Under the coercion of Britain, the United States and Japan, China reluctantly agreed to this unreasonable demand, so China added another 65.438+68 million taels.
Later, because China declared war on Germany, the reparations to Germany ended. 19 17, China declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire and stopped paying reparations to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Followed by the October Revolution in Russia, the China government took the opportunity to cut off the compensation for Russia. 1937, China also stopped paying reparations to Japan, while China has paid reparations of 57.36 million taels. 1938 When the Japanese invaders seriously invaded China, China stopped paying boxer indemnity to foreign countries, and Britain and the United States stopped boxer indemnity to make the National Government persist in the war of resistance. Boxer indemnity has a total of 664 million yuan. After deducting the refund from the United States and Britain, China actually paid more than 576 million taels.
