The first place on today's hot search list is undoubtedly the Yu Qi incident, which has been interpreted in the morning, and will not be repeated here, friends who don't know can click the link below:
Secretary General Yu Qi, who is "diplomatically exempt", may have retired and received two salaries, with a monthly salary of more than 20,000 yuan
The focal point of the incident is a noun: "diplomatic immunity".
Diplomatic immunity, mainly between the two countries, protects the rights of the person, residence, correspondence and property of the diplomatic representatives of the two countries.
The "diplomatic immunity" pursued by Yu Qi is to avoid punishment for his traffic violations, which is actually the "consular jurisdiction" in the "Five Ports of Commerce Treaty" signed between the Qing Dynasty and Britain in 1843, which is an unequal and a right that represents humiliation.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the "consular jurisdiction" has been automatically abolished, and no foreigner will have "consular jurisdiction" in China.
Origin of consular jurisdiction
1821, Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou.
When an American merchant ship arrived at Huangpu Port, an American sailor wanted to buy fruit, but because of the shortage of catties and pounds, a quarrel broke out with a Chinese vendor, and the American sailor picked up a jar and smashed it on the vendor's head, killing the vendor on the spot.
The American captain panicked and planned to compensate 15,000 yuan, but the family of the deceased wanted the murderer to die.
Suddenly, the people of Guangzhou were furious and demanded that the murderer be severely punished.
In the end, Wang Yunren, the magistrate of the county, pronounced the verdict: the American crew brawl and murder, and sentenced to hanging.
Two days later, the American crew was hanged in public.
In the eyes of the United States at that time, the unfair judgment of the Qing Dynasty was a great shame for the United States.
In 1840, the Opium War broke out, and the Qing army suffered a crushing defeat.
In 1842, the two sides signed the Treaty of Nanjing.
At this time, Britain remembered the case of the United States more than 20 years ago.
So in 1843, when the two sides signed the "Five-Port Trade Charter", Britain forcibly added another article: British criminal crimes shall be handled by British law.
This is the origin of the so-called consular jurisdiction.
As a leading cadre with a higher education and an important position, Yu Qi is still concerned about diplomatic immunity and consular jurisdiction, which can be said to be completely caused by the idea of privilege, but Nian is 58 years old, and she has sincerely apologized, and she has to be forgiving and forgiving, so let's let her go.
