The Convention between the United Kingdom and China, Respecting an Extension of Hong Kong Territory,〔http://ebook.lib.hku.hk/HKG/B36227845.pdf〕 commonly known as the Convention for the Extension of Hong Kong Territory or the Second Convention of Peking, was a lease and unequal treaty signed between Qing China and the United Kingdom in 1898. ==Background== In the wake of China's defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War (18941895), the British took advantage of the other European powers' scramble to carve up the country and forced the treaty on the weakened Chinese government. The convention was signed on 9 June 1898 in Beijing (Peking).〔Anand, R.P. (2003) ''Cultural Factors in International Relations'', Abhinav Publications. ISBN 81-7017-134-2〕 The contract was signed to give the British full jurisdiction of the newly acquired land that was necessary to ensure proper military defence of the colony around the island.〔Ghai, Yash P. (1999) ''Hong Kong's New Constitutional Order: The Resumption of Chinese Sovereignty and the Basic Law'', HK University press. ISBN 962-209-463-5〕 Some of the earliest proposals for the land's usage in 1894 included cemetery space, an exercise ground for British troops as well as land for development. From the British perspective concerns over security and territorial defense provided the major impetus for the agreement.〔
