How did Qing respond to Britain and diplomatic mission?

The Qing Dynasty responded to Britain's diplomatic mission, particularly the 1793 Macartney Embassy, with a mix of curiosity and resistance. While the Qing court was intrigued by British goods and ideas, they held firmly to their belief in the superiority of their own culture and the tributary system. The Qing refused to alter their trade policies or recognize British diplomatic representation on equal terms, ultimately leading to tensions that contributed to future conflicts, including the Opium Wars. Their response reflected a broader reluctance to engage with Western powers on equal footing.

In 1839, the Chinese took away twenty thousand boxes of the opium from the British. The British retaliated, and the four Opium Wars began.

True or false The British ended the opium trade to China in 1836?

Yes. In 1729, the Chinese imperial government, alarmed at its debilitating effect, prohibited the sale of opium mixed with tobacco and banned opium-smoking houses. Selling opium for smoking "was classed with robbery and instigation to murder, and punished with banishment or death," wrote Joshua Rowntree in "The Imperial Drug Trade," published in London in 1905. But this didn't stop Britain, which had gradually been taking over the opium trade from its European capitalist rivals, Portugal and Holland. Much of the opium at this time was grown and manufactured in British India. Capt. Hamilton, a private British adventurer who spent 40 years in India in the first part of the 18th century, described the city of Patna there as "frequented by Europeans, where the English and Dutch have factories. It produces so much opium that it serves all the countries in India with that commodity."

The era was known as the "end of Chinese isolation bringing them into modern Chinese history ending the monopoly of trading in opium.
