Synopsis
Excerpt from The Chinese Repository, Vol. 12: From January to December, 1843
These facts, these prejudices, &c., attest the policy of avoiding a more direct intercourse with the Chinese than that to which we might invite the inhabitants of the coast, by fixing insular marts' for the exchange of merchandise within reach of their ordinary naviga tion.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and varying conditions of the Chinese empire from 1840 onward. It explores the then unprecedented opening of diplomatic relations with nations outside China, analyzed through the lens of the Opium Wars and the resulting treaties signed as a consequence of the conflict. The author further discusses the influence of Western powers on Chinese domestic and foreign relations, up to the then present day, examining both the challenges and opportunities that arose during this turbulent period of Chinese history. The author argues that, despite tremendous change and upheaval, China's central government successfully adapted in order to survive, though not without significant loss of life and treasure.
