Negotiating China: Western Rights, Duties, and the Call for Open Trade
This edition presents a thoughtful look at 1835 British relations with China, focusing on how nations view rights, duties, and the path to freer commerce. It also includes a critical introduction that questions claims about Chinese refinement and the real state of education and social practices in key cities.
The material analyzes how Western traders should engage with China, balancing the desire for access with respect for Chinese laws and authorities. It traces debates over use of force, exclusive privileges, and the need for a steady, lawful approach to expand trade and influence. It also surveys the broader context of missions and intercultural contact shaping these discussions.
What you’ll experience
- A clear summary of the Western position on commerce and diplomacy with China
- Discussion of how past voyages and engagements tested relations and respect for local authority
- Considerations of education, literacy, and social practices in China as they relate to Western interests
- Reflections on the role of missions and religious exchange in shaping public perception
Ideal for readers of historical policy, trade history, and 19th-century international relations who want a compact, accessible overview of Britain’s early dialogue with China.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book comprises three works: two of the journals are from the author's travels along the coast of China, while the third is an essay introducing the collection. The traveler, Mr. Gutzlaff, is a missionary whose unique position enabled him to gather first-hand accounts of the Chinese people, their religions, and their politics. These are reflected on in the third work, an introduction by the esteemed missionary, Rev. W. Ellis. The book offers a rare insight into China as it was two centuries ago, with detailed descriptions of the day-to-day interactions and tensions between Chinese, British, and American merchants. An engaging blend of travelogue and historical record, the book will fascinate anyone interested in the complex interplay of cultures and the often uneasy relationship between East and West.
