The Belgian concession of Tianjin (Dutch: Belgische concessie in Tianjin; French: Concession belge de Tianjin; Chinese: 天津比租界; pinyin: Tiānjīn bǐ zūjiè) was a 120-acre Belgian colonial concession in the Chinese city of Tianjin between 1902 and 1931, the only Belgian concession in China. Although its own concession had not been developed, Belgium had been very active in the infrastructure construction of Tianjin Huajie and other concessions, and can be called the “engineering captain” in the concessions of various other countries including the old city of Tianjin.
