Whampoa and the Canton Trade: Life and Death in a Chinese Port, 1700–1842

内容简介:This book authoritatively corrects misconceptions about how the Qing government treated foreigners when it controlled all trade in the Guangzhou port. Van Dyke reappraises the role of Whampoa in the system and reassesses the government’s attitude towards foreigners. In fact, Van Dyke shows that foreigners were not bound by local laws and were given freedom of movement around Whampoa and Canton to the extent that they were treated with leniency even when found in off-limit places.
