晚清洋务派当政期间,大量华工出洋谋生,由此而产生的关于华工的中外交涉屡见不鲜。在国内,中外交涉集中体现在华工出洋是否合法以及如何处理华工在异国遭受不平等待遇两个问题上。其中,刘坤一在处理美商同孚洋行替秘鲁拐招华工案中,坚持保护华工的基本立场,极力要求消除出洋弊端,解决虐待海外华工的问题。 During the late Qing Dynasty Westernization sent to power, a large number of Chinese workers to make a living abroad, resulting from the Chinese workers on the Chinese and foreign negotiations are not uncommon. At home, the negotiation between China and foreign countries focuses on whether the Chinese laborers go overseas are legitimate and how to deal with the two issues that Chinese laborers suffer from unequal treatment in foreign countries.
