This day, 21 July, in 1896, as the continuation of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Commerce and Navigation was signed in Beijing. As well as permitting the presence of consuls general in trading ports, the Treaty in part stated that the trading of goods between China and Japan would be handled in accordance with the then current tariffs and regulations thereto between China and Western countries.
这一天，即1896年7月21日，作为《下关条约》的延续，《中日商业和航海条约》在北京签署。 除了允许总领事在贸易港口的存在外，《条约》部分规定，中日之间的货物贸易将按照当时中西方国家之间的关税和管制来处理。
