19世纪末,西方殖民列强为了争夺亚洲的殖民地和海外市场,纷纷向中国及其周边地区派出考古探险团、商务考察团、地理考察团、政治军事考察团等。1895—1897年间,法国里昂商会共邀请其他12家商会,对中国西南部的云、贵、川以及广西、广东和香港地区作了商务考察,其考察成果于1898年在法国里昂出版。成果主要涉及云南的进出口产品,如矿物、鸦片、皮货、麝香、丝绸等。该考察团还调查了缅甸与中国邻省及缅甸和印度支那的贸易关系。
In the late 19th century, the Western colonial powers dispatched archaeological expeditions, business expeditions, geographical expeditions, political and military expeditions to China and the surrounding areas in order to compete for the colonies and overseas markets in Asia. From 1895 to 1897, the Chamber of Commerce in Lyon, France, invariably invited 12 other chambers of commerce to conduct business trips to Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan in the southwestern part of China and to Guangxi, Guangdong and Hong Kong. Results of the study were published in Lyon, France, in 1898. Results mainly related to Yunnan’s import and export products, such as minerals, opium, leather goods, musk, silk and so on. The delegation also investigated Myanmar’s trade relations with its neighboring provinces in China and Myanmar and Indochina.
