The Qing Dynasty's response to Britain's diplomatic mission in the early 19th century, particularly the 1793 Macartney Mission, was largely dismissive. The Qing court viewed the mission as an attempt to establish equal diplomatic relations, which contradicted their belief in the superiority of the Chinese empire. The Qing officials were more interested in maintaining the traditional tributary system and ultimately rejected British requests for trade concessions and diplomatic recognition. This misunderstanding and lack of mutual respect contributed to escalating tensions that would later lead to conflicts such as the Opium Wars.

China and Britain traded opium, Britain go the opium from south India, Chinese people were getting onto this drug and so China tried to stopped all trade with Britain. China also tried to get rid of most of the opium but failed, china hurt Britain's economy and Britain attacked china's navy but china ended up losing because Britain went through the Industrial Revolution so they had better weapons that could reload faster and fire farther
