Abstract

This article describes the main lines of relations between the Qing and two neighbors, Đai Việt (Vietnam) and Siam (Thailand), ca. 1700-1820. It argues that the tribute system was not a "fossil" of Qing pretensions and meaningless ceremonies but a functional matrix for adjustment to changing realities. It cites archival sources in Beijing and Taipei that will repay further detailed study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
