106 years ago today, on May 1, 1919 (April 2, 1919 in the lunar calendar), Chinese representatives protested against the Paris Conference cutting off Shandong rights from Japan. On May 1, 1919, British Foreign Secretary Belfort summoned Shi Zhaoji and Gu Weijun to inform the Paris Conference's decision on the Shandong issue. Belfort said: "When looking at the Shandong issue, the resolution method is roughly the same as the two ends. The political power is returned to China, and the economic power is given to Japan. I understand that China will be satisfied." On that day, the Chinese delegation made a strong protest to the Paris conference. On May 6, Lu Zhengxiang and Wang Zhengting attended the Allied Conference. After seeing the full text of the peace treaty with Germany, Lu Zhengxiang immediately protested: "The Chinese delegation cannot help but express its deep disappointment with the measures on Jiaozhou and Shandong issues proposed at the Paris Conference." The Chinese representative formally expressed his reservations on the Shandong clause. On May 7, the draft peace treaty with Germany was handed over to the German representative, and the German side was allowed to request an interpretation of the draft treaty within 15 days. In this regard, Lu Zhengxiang called the government and said: This peace conference method, in various situations, is really indignant. There is still a 15-day deadline for the enemy country, allowing it to question questions, and for our country to get the manuscript ready before the secret is not willing to show people, after getting the manuscript ready, there is no time to discuss, its situation to me is really acceptable.
