British merchants were not permitted to move about Chinese land freely due to the strict regulations imposed by the Qing Dynasty, which sought to control foreign trade and maintain sovereignty. China operated under a tribute system and limited foreign interactions to designated ports, such as Guangzhou (Canton). This restrictive policy aimed to protect Chinese culture and economy from foreign influence and exploitation, reinforcing the notion of China's superiority in the global order during that time.
