在中、英《藏印条约》的谈判过程中,赫德扮演了幕后指挥、中方的外交顾问与调停者的角色。在中、英“藏印交涉”过程中,有三种矛盾贯穿始终:中英矛盾、英藏矛盾、清中央与西藏地方的矛盾。这三种矛盾能否达成妥协决定了谈判的进程。 During the Sino-British negotiations on the “Treaty of Tibet,” Hurd played the role of a behind-the-scenes conductor of China’s diplomatic adviser and mediator. In the process of Sino-British “Tibet-India Negotiation,” there are three kinds of contradictions that run through the two sides: the contradiction between China and Britain, the contradiction between Britain and Tibet and the contradiction between the Central Government and Tibet. Whether these three kinds of contradictions can reach a compromise will determine the negotiation process.
