Extraterritorial jurisdiction, facilitating British Empire to regulate British residents in China, forms the extraterritorial legal system for China, Britain's extraterritoriality in China was unilaterally established in 1833 , formally extened to Japan and Korea in 1865 and 1884 respectively, and completely collapsed in 1943. Such a system, based on Orders in Council, was operated by Superintendent of Trade, Governor of Hong Kong, Supreme Court of Hong Kong, consuls and Her Britannic Majesty's Supreme Court for China and Japan. The OIC 1833 formed an extraterritorial legal framework with the Supreme Court of Hong Kong, the Governor of Hong Kong, and the consuls in China as the main functionaries. The OIC 1865 officially established the extraterritorial legal system for China, which was operated by the Minister in China and Shanghai Supreme Court. This system aims to protect the British subjects, maintain imperial order, and coordinate different powers, but its boundary is ambiguous. The connection between Yunnan and Mandalay, and Kashgar and British Raj highlights the jurisdictional equation between colonial and extraterritorial jurisdictions generated by legal fiction. As a result, the regional and global legal empire was unilaterally established. |
