Abstract

This paper studies the information transmission and people's cognition of the British Raj plague in 1897. The aim is to examine and summarize the emergency measures taken by China, Britain, and Russia based on border epidemic prevention under the impact of the epidemic. The anti-epidemic measures taken by the local government of Xinjiang in the late Qing Dynasty imitated those of Russia and had flexible adjustment characteristics. Russia had a tough attitude towards the British Raj plague in the border areas and harbored evil intentions. Since the anti-epidemic measures of China and Russia hurt Britain's interests in British Raj, Britain expressed dissatisfaction with the anti-epidemic measures at the border between China and Russia.
