Canton
The Chinese tried to limit European trade and involvement in the mid-1760s in various ways. The mainly did this by barricading the South China Sea which was a trade route for the European nations.
In the late 1700s, the Chinese limited European trade primarily to the city of Canton, known today as Guangzhou. This restriction was part of the Qing Dynasty's efforts to control foreign influence and trade. The Canton System established a trade monopoly, allowing European merchants to interact only with designated Chinese merchants, known as hong. This system significantly shaped the dynamics of trade between China and European powers during that period.
