Consul General of Qing China (1898–1912)
In July 1898, Spain gave permission to the Qing government in Beijing of establishing a consulate in Manila. Beijing had informed the Spanish minister in China and the Spanish Governor-General of the Philippines that they had selected Chen Gang as the first Consul General to the Philippines. However, Chen's arrival was delayed due to the United States' blockade in the islands, making his father, Chen Qianshan, as the acting consul general.[1]: 126 As the US gained the Philippines as its occupied territory, the US government in Washington expressed that they would not recognize Chen Gang as consul general. Chen resigned to his post in 1899 for personal matters and was succeeded by Li Rongyao.[2][1]: 128
