| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The balance of Sino-western trade in Guangdong did not affect the economy of Qing China. Therefore the Qing central government left the management of the so-called “Canton trade” to local authorities in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
In late 1830s, an idea of relevancy between long recession from 1820s and silver outflows attendant on sharp increasing of opium smuggling was widely accepted in Qing China. The situation caused intervention of the Qing central government to Canton trade and the high tension in Sino-British relations. This study concluded that the casus belli of the first Opium war was the changing perception of importance of foreign trade in the Qing economy.
