Qing Dynasty in "Unequal Treaty": 1 oz. Silver per Head Owed to Foreign Powers

in #cn7 years ago


Just before "The Last Emperor" was born China's Empress Dowager signed over a debt of 400 million oz. of silver to foreign powers: Austria-Hungary, Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Russia, Spain, United States.

Last week, the Communist regime in China handed over an even greater amount of wealth to Russia.

From Twitter:

1901年,辛丑条约规定,大清要赔偿八国联军4亿两白银,就是4亿国民每人一两。 最近,中国刚刚与俄罗斯签订了条约,给他们110亿美金,帮他们成立什么基金,合人民币680亿元。按今日白银价格,每克3.4元,共计200亿两白银。按13亿人口算,每人分摊15两。

Translated:

In 1901 the Qing Dynasty was assigned an indemnity of 420 million taels silver by the Boxer Protocol. The Qing indemnity came to 1 oz per head of China's population. Recently, China just signed an agreement aiding Russia US$11B. At today's silver prices and a population of 1.3 billion, China's payout to Russia comes to over 15 oz silver per head.
