Abstract: In the modern world the economic concerns dominate society , but in traditional China , which highlighted the political morality , the economy was always a subordinate factor and secondary political concern. Unfortunately, up to now most works on the Sino2foreign relations or Sino-foreign relations on the eve of the modern period have overlooked this. For example, the relations between China and Russia in the early and mid Qing were not on an equal footing. For most of the period, China was in control. On the basis of the Qing official regulations and newly published documents, Historical Russian Source Documents from the Palace Museum, this paper reexamines Sino2Russian relations from the Chinese perspective.
