Greаt Britаin аnd China fоught [BLANK-1] frоm 1839-1842 оver limitations on trade and Britain’s desire to get Chinese tea more cheaply by purchasing it with goods other than silver. This led to a drain of silver in China and the Qing government was forced to send Lin Zexu to Guangzhou (the former Port of Canton) and give him nearly limitless authority to address the crisis. Nevertheless, Britain continued importing goods to China against the government’s wishes. Britain sent 42 warships to China, established control of the seas, and shut down Chinese ports, forcing them to negotiate. Unhappy with the concessions of the negotiation, Britain sent a second, larger force, which occupied even more coastal ports, including the largest port in the world: Shanghai. China was forced to concede much of its autonomy with the Treaty of Nanjing (1842), which ended the conflict. The peace agreement left British citizens in China answerable only to British laws, forced China to pay an indemnity, ceded the port of Hong Kong to Britain, and gave Great Britain “most favored nation” trading status. This was a serious restriction of Chinese sovereignty and was one of a long list of issues that signaled the declining power of the Qing Dynasty during the nineteenth century.
