Foreigners blamed for riots over Chinese indemnity bill
In Washington, Cockrell assailed the Chinese indemnity debate claiming rioters at Lock Springs were foreigners. He argued foreigners and Chinese were brought by contract to supply cheap labor to replace American workers and that Chinese were kept like slaves, contrasting freedoms enjoyed by Chinese in the United States with limits on movement in China. He criticized Kwarta, Edmunds and Sherman. The Chinese government would never compensate Americans for violence by other foreigners in China. The diplomacy of China aimed to protect China from claims.
