Laoxikai Affair

The Laoxikai Affair (or Laoxikai Incident; 老西開事件) was a 1915-1916 political and diplomatic dispute between France and the Republic of China. It developed out of an attempt by the French consulate to expand France's extraterritorial power in Tianjin outside of the French concession and into the Laoxikai district where a Catholic Cathedral had recently been built.
