第二次鸦片战争后,华工出洋通过《北京条约》的签订而变得合法。为了适应这一新形势,清政府与英法两国制定了更为详细的具有国际法律意义的《续定招工章程条约》。招工出洋,涉及有三个角色:中国官员、华工自身及外国领事官,而招工章程需要处理的是被雇华工出国前及出国后的这种三角关系。 After the Second Opium War, laborers went abroad to become lawful through the signing of the Beijing Treaty. In order to adapt to this new situation, the Qing government and Britain and France have formulated a more detailed treaty of renewal of employment regulations with international legal significance. Recruiting foreign workers involves three roles: Chinese officials, Chinese laborers themselves and foreign consular officers. The employment regulations need to deal with such triangular relations before and after going abroad.
