Aujourd'hui des légations régulièrement accréditées sont en rapports directs avec les gouvernements de Pékin et de Yédo; les communications sont ouvertes, et les Européens peuvent résider, trafiquer, professer leur religion dans plusieurs villes des deux empires, d'où ils s'étaient vus si longtemps repoussés comme des étrangers et même comme des barbares.
