Abstract

The British colonial policy was forcibly implemented in the British Concession in Tianjin, and a set of ruling institutions were set up which were independent of China’s administrative power, which seriously violated China’s sovereignty. Britain also colonized China economically by setting up foreign banks, opening banks and factories. They also spread religion, opened western-style schools, and founded newspapers to guide public opinion and paralyze the Chinese people. In short, Britain took the concession as its base to colonize China politically, economically, culturally and militarily, as if the British concession in Tianjin had become a space of colonization in modern China, bringing indelible pain to modern China. The existence and development of concession accompanied the growth of modern Tianjin and left indelible traces in the flow of time.
