清末报律的制定是清廷整体上改革旧律以符合现代“文明”法律体系的一个组成部分,目的之一是为了借此收回治外法权,因此在制定报律的过程中也处处考虑到这个因素。虽然清廷制定报律也是为了有效管理租界内的报馆,但是正因为想要从外国人手中收回对报馆的管理权,所以在制定报律的时候谨小慎微,生怕得罪外人而影响收回治外法权之大计。最后颁布的《大清报律》以及宣统时期的《钦定报律》,都没有直接关于租界报馆的规定,其原因也是治外法权的阻梗。 The formulation of the law at the end of the Qing dynasty was an integral part of the Qing court’s reform of the old law as a whole in line with the modern “civilized” legal system. One of the aims of the Qing court was to take back the extraterritoriality, so it was also considered in the process of formulating the law This factor. Although the Qing court also reported that the law was also designed to effectively manage newspaper patrols within the concession, precisely because it wanted to regain control of the newspaper from foreigners, it was cautious in formulating the report and fearing to offend outsiders and thereby affecting the plan for the recovery of extra-legal authority. The final promulgation of the “Law of the Qing dynasty” and the “law of the Qin dynasty” in the period of Xuantong did not directly provide for the provisions on the declaration of the concession. The reason for this is also the obstruction of extraterritoriality.
