362 NEGOTIATIONS WITH CHINA
they commenced as soon as we had evacuated Chumbi,
than in carrying out their part of the agreement.
The first indication of this significant change of Chinese
policy was the appointment of Chao Erh-feng, the Acting
Viceroy of Szechuan, as Resident in Tibet, in the spring
of 1908. It was unusual, said Sir John Jordan in report-
ing this, to select an official of his standing and record

Chao Erh-feng was directed to investigate the local
