description: "Marquis Zeng Jize, also formerly romanized Tseng Chi-tse, was a Chinese diplomat. As one of China's earliest ministers to London, Paris and Saint Petersburg, he played an important role in the diplomacy that preceded and accompanied the Sino-French War. He pioneered the use of telegrams for diplomatic correspondence between Qing legations and its foreign ministry, the Zongli Yamen. His 1887 profile, \"China: the Sleep, and the Awakening\", was widely noticed in the West."
