Chinese concession of Incheon

[4][5] Although the concession was formally abolished in 1898 after China's defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, it developed into today's Incheon Chinatown.

[8] China and Korea signed the China–Korea Treaty of 1882 in October 1882, stipulating that Korea was a dependency of China and granting Chinese merchants the right to conduct overland and maritime business freely within Korean borders as well as Chinese unilateral extraterritoriality privileges in civil and criminal cases.

Korea would bear the construction costs of streets, sewers, bridges, houses, and dock facilities in the Chinese concession.

In 1885, Japan and China signed the Convention of Tientsin and withdrew their soldiers from Korea, pledging to inform one another before deploying troops into the nation in the future.

In February 1896, Kim Yun-sik, Minister of External Affairs of the Korean government, drafted a diplomatic treaty with Qing China.
