泱泱大清,3亿子民,居然找不出一个能够“领衔”出使西洋的人,可悲可叹!鸦片战争后,随着中外关系的变化和清政府内部发展的客观要求,遣使出洋已成为必须。于是1868年清政府向海外派遣了中国近代第一个正式外交使团——由前美国驻华公使蒲安臣为首的代表团访问欧美,故称作蒲安臣使团。此事既表现了清政府外交浓厚的半殖民地色彩,也标志着清政府外交终于跨出了走向世界的第一步。
After the Opium War, with the change of Sino-foreign relations and the objective requirements of the internal development of the Qing government, it is sad to say that, To send an expatriate has become a must. So in 1868 the Qing government sent overseas the first formal diplomatic corps in modern China - a delegation led by the former U.S. ambassador to China Po Anchen visited Europe and the United States. It is therefore called the Beaunese Mission. This fact not only shows the Qing government’s strong diplomatic and semi-colonial colors, but also marks the Qing government’s diplomacy has finally taken the first step toward the world.
