中英藏协约草案 中华文库

第一款：西藏全境，应分为‘外藏’‘内藏’两部。‘外藏’系指与印邻近一带而言，并包含拉萨日喀则察木多三地在内。‘内藏’系指与华邻近一带而言，并包含巴塘里塘打箭炉以及藏东大部在内。

第二款：承认中国在西藏全境之主权。但中国方面约定，不将西藏地方，改为中国一个行省。

第三款：大不列颠国约定，决不合并西藏任何地方。

第四款：承认‘外藏’之自治。中国约定，决不干涉该地内政，（光祈按，专指‘外藏’而言。）由藏人自行办理；中国并约定，既不派遣军队到该地，亦不在该地设置文武官吏，（惟下列第六款所述者为例外，）更不在该地建设中国殖民地。大不列颠国约定，对于西藏全境，（光祈按，指‘外藏’及‘内藏’而言。）愿受本款所举各种限制；（光祈按，即不在西藏全境派兵器官建设殖民地等等，）惟大不列颠国之商务委员及其护兵，应允其驻在藏中。

第五款：关于‘内藏’方面，凡西藏中央政府在拉萨之现有权利，其中如监察大多数寺院，任命地方长官之类，仍应照旧保有。但中国方面却具有派遣军队或官吏到该地，以及在该地建设殖民地之权。（西藏国务总理曾向余言曰：在‘内藏’方面，最良之人势将获得胜利。我们政府必须派遣诚实可靠之人前往该地；征税宜轻，并使该地居民之尚武精神保持不坠，云云。）

第六款：恢复中国驻扎拉萨之驻藏大臣。其护兵之数，不得超过三百人。

第七款：大不列颠国驻藏商务委员之护兵，其数不得超过拉萨所驻中国护兵人数的四分之三。

第八款：大不列颠驻扎江孜之商务委员，如遇在江孜地方不能了结之事件，得有前往拉萨将其办理之权。

1. Tibet was divided into two zones, 'Outer Tibet' and 'Inner Tibet'. The former is the part nearer India, including Lhasa, Shigatse and Chamdo; the latter the part nearer China, including Ba-tang, Li-tang, Tachienlu, and a large portion of eastern Tibet.

2. Chinese suzerainty over the whole of Tibet was recognized, but China engaged notto convert Tibet into a Chinese province.

3. Great Britain engaged not to annex any portion of Tibet.

4. The autonomy of Outer Tibet was recognized. China agreed to abstain from interference in its administration, which was to rest with the Tibetans themselves. She agreed also to abstain from sending troops, stationing civil or military officers (except as in [6] below) or establishing Chinese colonies there. Britain to abstain from all these things throughout the whole of Tibet, but to retain her Trade Agents and their escorts.

5. In Inner Tibet the central Tibetan Government at Lhasa were to retain their existing rights, which included among other things the control of most of the monasteries and the appointment of local chiefs. But China was not forbidden to send troops or officials or to plant colonies there. (In Inner Tibet, as the Tibetan Prime Minister remarked to me, the best man will win. Our Government should send Louest officials there, tax the people lightly and keep up their warlike spirit.)

6. A Chinese Amban was to be re-established at Lhasa with a military escort, limited to three hundred men.

7. The escorts of the British Trade Agencies in Tibet were not to exceed three-fourths of the Chinese escort at Lhasa.

8. The British Agent at Gyantse was authorized to visit Lhasa, in order to settle matters which could not be settled at Gyantse.
