T'ien-chin

On Wednesday, the 27th, we arrived at a place called Tʻien-chin. Here we were not on the high road to Pekin, hence the excitement created by our arrival was greater than I had ever before witnessed.

In addition, areas of foreign settlement with extraterritorial administration were established in Shanghai, T'ien-chin, Hank'ou, Chiuchiang, Amoy, and the island of Shamien (opposite Canton).

During 1983, in a joint research project with the USGS, Chinese seismologists finished installing an array of about 40 instruments to monitor ground motions associated with strong events in the Beijing/Tʻien-chin region of northeastern China.

He informed the Chinese that they must do his bidding lest the Anglo-French Expeditionary Force take Tientsin (T'ien-chin) and Peking, putting the West Europeans in a position to topple the dynasty.
