At the Washington Conference, the negotiation about the Shandong Railway issue was on the verge of breakdown, because China and Japan each sticks his own view. Japan insisted on the loan of Shandong railway, and employ Japanese as management executive during the loan period. But China submitted the acquisition of the Shandong Railway with the issuance of treasury bond. As had been done in the previous study, Britain and the United States proposed a compromise between China and Japan, which finally solved the Shandong problem. But there was no research to discuss how China thought about this compromise.
