中国封建政府与早期东南亚西方殖民地政权的关系，既是东方传统国家关系的延续，又具有某些近代国际关系的特征。中荷（印）关系的实质是，一个古老而处于“停滞状态”的东方封建帝国与一个新兴的西方资本主义商业殖民地的接触与冲突关系。由于中荷（印）各自所追求的目标和理念的错位，严重地制约了交往的效果。 The relationship between the Chinese feudal government and the early colonial powers in Southeast Asia was not only the continuation of the relations between the traditional oriental countries but also the features of some modern international relations. The essence of Sino-Dutch relations is the contact and conflict between an ancient and “stagnant” Eastern feudal empire and a new commercial colonial capitalism in the West. Due to the dislocation of the goals and concepts pursued by China and Holland, the effect of communication is severely restricted.
