concession

 
     
  A point surrendered by one party to another in a negotiation.


In the late nineteenth to early twentieth century term ‘foreign concession’, an area of land in China leased to a foreign power by the government under one or other of the unequal treaties. The most famous was the International Settlement at Shanghai. The unequal treaties were finally abolished in 1943. See also capitulations.
