The Sino-Japanese Friendship and Trade Treaty [a] was the first treaty between Japan and the Qing dynasty. It was signed on 13 September 1871 in Tientsin by Date Munenari and Plenipotentiary Li Hongzhang. [1]
The treaty guaranteed the judiciary rights of Consuls, and fixed trade tariffs between the two countries. [1]
The treaty was ratified in the spring of 1873 and was applied until the First Sino-Japanese War, which led to a renegotiation with the Treaty of Shimonoseki.
