Because of the deficiencies in her laws and judicial administration, China has for eighty years passively accepted the arrangement, sanctioned by treaties, under which foreigners found within her territory are clothed with extraterritorial rights. The privileged status thus accorded to foreigners virtually established in that country an anomalous system of foreign jurisdictions.Now that the Chinese laws and judicial machinery are being improved in accordance with modern requirements, what was once a Chinese attitude of silent acquiescence toward the restriction of sovereignty has today become one of active and energetic protest against its further continuance
