Some bibliographic info[edit]

The most immediate source of this text is most likely:

  • "Convention between the German Empire and China Respecting the Lease of Kiao-Chau". (1910). American Journal of International Law, 4(S4), 285-289. doi:10.2307/2212069

The editor there cites their source for the text as:

  • Treaties and conventions with or concerning China and Korea, 1894–1904. (1904). Rockhill, William Woodville. p. 53.

Rockhill in turn cites British Parliamentary Blue Book, China No. 1 (1899), and comments that "The English is believed to be an authentic version, but the Russian Government has not made this Agreement public."

In any case, the translation might be an official one by either Russia or China (making it eligible for PD-EdictGov), but it is definitely published no later than 1899. As such it is public domain in the US, and satisfies Commons' 120-year cutoff for presumed PD in country of origin. --Xover (talk) 07:20, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
