The practice of allowing foreign nationals in China to be tried according to their home country's laws, rather than Chinese laws, is known as "extraterritoriality." This system was established during the "Unequal Treaties" in the 19th century and primarily affected foreign diplomats, merchants, and their families, granting them immunity from Chinese legal jurisdiction. This arrangement was a significant aspect of colonial influence in China during that period.
