Abstract: Diplomatic activities were a great part of Li Hong-zhang's whole political career. To make an apt appraisal of Li Hong-zhang's diplomatic career is a key to judge his merits and demerits of life. Historians kept attaching more and more attention to Li Hong-zhang's diplomatic activities and his diplomatic way of thinking. They were much concerned about his role in Sino-Japanese, Sino-Russia and Sino-France diplomatic relations. Furthermore, they were concerned about his policy of “cementing relations with Western countries”. As opinions vary, no unanimous conclusion can be drawn.
