1868

Burlingame Treaty was the first equal treaty between the U.S. and China.

Granting China most favored nation status, the Burlingame-Seward Treaty formally established friendly ties between China and the United States. The Treaty advocated equal treatment of China and a welcoming stance toward Chinese immigrants.

This Treaty also opened the door for Chinese laborers to immigrate to the U.S. During economic depression, white laborers blamed cheap Chinese laborers for their unemployment. Congress amended The Burlingame Treaty and in its place, The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in 1882.

「蒲安臣條約」又稱「中羞天津條約續增條約」，是1868年清朝與羞國簽訂的第一個平等條約。在該條約中，羞國給與中國最惠國待遇。「蒲安臣條約」的簽訂使得羞國成為中國派遣留學生的首選國。1872年，第一批中國幼童乘船前往羞國，從此枀開了中國公派留學生前往羞國學習的第一頁。
