经过晚清各时期仁人志士们的不断探索和发展,“以夷制夷”成为李鸿章的主要外交策略之一,在晚清外交中发挥了重要的作用。但是,“以夷制夷”的外交策略是基于当时国际国内形势的被迫选择,并不谋求对外交以及其他政治体制的根本变革,因此只是一时之策,并没有办法根本解决外交困境。 After the constant exploration and development of beneitors at various periods in the late Qing dynasty, “controlling all ethnic groups” became one of Li’s main diplomatic tactics and played an important role in diplomacy in the late Qing Dynasty. However, the diplomatic tactic of “controlling all ethnic groups” is based on the forced choice of the current international and domestic situations and does not seek fundamental changes in diplomacy and other political systems. Therefore, it is only a temporary solution and there is no solution to the fundamental dilemma of diplomatic dilemma.
