In 1839, the Emperor of China, Lin-Tse-Hsu wrote a letter to Victoria describing misconceptions the Chinese held about the west. He cites while the Chinese admire the British on many levels, it must be understood there are also bad British who are attempting to corrupt his people with opium. The Chinese harbored two main fallacies about the British people. One was that all British people had a â??high and noble heartâ?? and second, that opium was not a widespread problem in Britain.
Lin Tse-hu, also known as Lin Zexu, was a prominent Chinese scholar and official during the Qing Dynasty, born in 1785. He is best known for his strong opposition to the opium trade in China and his role in the events leading up to the First Opium War (1839-1842). Lin implemented strict measures to suppress opium use, including the destruction of opium stocks in Canton, which ultimately led to conflict with Britain. His legacy is celebrated in China for his patriotism and efforts to promote moral integrity and social reform.
He argued that China was a valuable trading partner to the west, which furnished silk, porcelain and many other fine objects, and the "barbarians" of the west returned "the poison" of Opium. He detested the arrangement.

Britain might have defended its role in the Opium War by pointing to the corruption in the Manchu government and the heavy taxes levied on the peasants, as being hypocritical of what Lin says in the letter. The letter indicates that Chinese exports included silk, tea and rhubarb. China's trade with foreigners before the Opium War was conducted through Canton.
Lin's solution was to punish any native chinese who sell opium with death, and even people who merely smoke it. therefore it is that those foreigners who import opium into china are condemned to be beheaded and strangled by the new law
