No Dogs and Not Many Chinese by Frances Wood

In 1793 the Emperor rebuffed the first formal British attempt to open China to foreign trade. Convinced that in the interior there lay a huge market for goods, British merchants persisted, initially by diplomacy and then by force, resulting in the first treaty ports opening in 1843; these were then run by foreign traders for nearly a century.
