In short, China had to accept the opium trade. Britain, in particular, really gained from this. They made the Chinese sign two treaties, both of which were remarkably unfair. These treaties gave the British the right to open ports in China for wholly unrestricted trade. The same treaties made China hand over Hong Kong to Britain and provided for fixed tariffs. Other countries tried to make similarly unfair deals with China, and violence would break out over these same issues again and again.

Because the English were having a balance of trade problem as a result of their love of tea (they were paying the Chinese for it with their gold) they started to pay for the tea with opium instead. Before long the Chinese woke up to the effect that opium was having on their society and made the opium trade illegal. the English other European country's and Americans then attacked the Chinese in order to maintain the status quo and force the Chinese to take payment in opium. this sounds like the boxer rebellion.
