In the late 18th century, the Qing Empire, under the rule of the Qianlong Emperor, largely rejected British requests to expand trade. The Qing court viewed China as self-sufficient and believed it did not need foreign goods, expressing a preference for maintaining existing trade restrictions. The British delegation, led by Lord George Macartney in 1793, was met with indifference and ultimately dismissed, reinforcing China's isolationist policies at the time.
