Tseng Kwo-fan Memorial on Missions and Foreign Trade in China
The memorial argues foreigners threaten Chinese livelihoods through open ports, steamers, railways, and coal mines. It endorses a cautious embassy to Europe and America while urging restraint on missionary activity and stressing Confucianism’s primacy. It warns against rapid foreign expansion and predicts eventual self-protection and possible expulsion if China rises.
