Abstract

The Peking Gazette, a vital Qing government information dissemination tool, was extensively translated into English by Westerners in the 19th century. This facilitated cultural exchange but also provided Western powers with valuable political and military intelligence. The Qing dynasty's initial unawareness and subsequent ineffective countermeasures severely compromised national information security and political stability, highlighting the need to balance information disclosure and national security.
