    Extractions: Return to Old News home page by Paul Chrastina Lin accepted the assignment, knowing that it represented one of the most difficult problems faced by the Chinese empire. The sale of opium had been made illegal in China in 1800, but the black-market narcotics trade flourished in defiance of the law, and there were an estimated two million Chinese opium addicts. Addiction was especially common around the port city of Canton, where foreign merchants smuggled large quantities of the narcotic drug into China. Lin knew that the opium was brought to China in large British clipper ships, which also carried legal trade items. The cargo masters of these ships sold their opium to clandestine Chinese buyers at Lintin Island in Canton Bay. After the foreign merchants unloaded their contraband cargo, they proceeded peacefully up the Pearl River to Canton, where they held permits to buy tea and silk, and to sell a variety of legal trade goods. To the foreign clipper ships anchored at Canton, Commissioner Lin sent messages demanding that they turn over all of the opium they had aboard, as well as any supplies of the drug that might be stored at Lintin Island. He also commanded them to sign guarantees promising never to bring opium to China again, on pain of trial and execution if found guilty. Commissioner Lin laid down the terms under which the foreign merchants could regain their freedom and their right to trade in Canton. First, they must turn over all of the opium concealed aboard their ships, then they must sign a binding pledge not to bring any more opium to China in the future. Until these requirements were met, the foreigners would not be permitted to purchase any tea, rice, or silk for export.

    Extractions: This extended essay, "Opium War and the Opening of China", aims to examine the effects of the Opium War on the opening of China. The essay studies this issue at social, economical, political and intellectual levels along with its background. The Opium War forcefully and suddenly opened China to the world. The consequences of such abrupt exposure were deep and long lasting. This essay analyzes the impact of Opium War at each level and its overall effects. China, with its rising political, military and economic powers, is quickly merging into the international community. Facing the rising China, the world has raised many questions. What role will China play at the international level? What style of foreign policy will China follow? How will China administer Hong Kong after the British handover in 1997? Above all, will China continue its economic reforms and its "Open-Door Policy" which are the main contributors to its successes? All of these questions can be answered by examining the effects when China was first opened, forcefully, by British gun-boats and battle ships in the Opium War. The humilation and the lessons learned at the Opium War 150 years ago are deeply rooted in Chinese mentality and still guides Chinese thinking in international relations. What effects did the Opium War have on the opening of China?

    Extractions: In the 1842 Treaty of Nanking , the first treaty in the modern history of China, London gained Hong Kong island as a reparation from the Qing Court, desperate to stave off escalation of the military conflict then underway. (The image to the left is a fragment of that treaty.) One particularly important document which led to the Opium War (and, ultimately, this conference and site) was drafted over 150 years ago: Commissioner Lin's Letter of Advice to Queen Victoria , decrying the evils of Britain's opium trade with China, and demanding its termination.

70. Modern History: The Opium War And Foreign Encroachment
    The text of the Treaty of Nanking is from Changing China Readings in the Historyof China from the opium War to the Present, edited by J. Mason Gentzler.

    Extractions: print close Two things happened in the eighteenth century that made it difficult for England to balance its trade with the East. First, the British became a nation of tea drinkers and the demand for Chinese tea rose astronomically. It is estimated that the average London worker spent five percent of his or her total household budget on tea. Second, northern Chinese merchants began to ship Chinese cotton from the interior to the south to compete with the Indian cotton that Britain had used to help pay for its tea consumption habits. To prevent a trade imbalance, the British tried to sell more of their own products to China, but there was not much demand for heavy woolen fabrics in a country accustomed to either cotton padding or silk. The only solution was to increase the amount of Indian goods to pay for these Chinese luxuries, and increasingly in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the item provided to China was Bengal opium. With greater opium supplies had naturally come an increase in demand and usage throughout the country, in spite of repeated prohibitions by the Chinese government and officials. The British did all they could to increase the trade: They bribed officials, helped the Chinese work out elaborate smuggling schemes to get the opium into China's interior, and distributed free samples of the drug to innocent victims.

    Extractions: Very little has been reported about the opium fields in northern Korea. During the occupation, Korean farmers were forced to grow opium for Japan's opium operations in China. This secret opium war was conducted with full approval from Tokyo as a state po licy, under the directives of an official Japanese umbrella organization, the China Affairs Board. Editor's note : I grew up near one of the opium farms at the Korea-Manchuria border. Japanese police spent more time protecting opium crops than fighting Korean partisans. Koreans were allowed to keep the opium seeds - which young school kids (y ours truly include) would steal to eat The Board was responsible for political, economic, and cultural affairs in occupied China. This organization was run by Prince Konoye, and the ministers of war, the navy, finance and foreign affairs of the time. Japan's opium trafficking was designed to w eaken the Chinese people's will to resist and to provide substantial revenues to finance Japanese military and economic aggression. by Danny Chi 1. Money.

History a The Scholar-Officials and Neo-Confucianism The Song period was in many ways the great age of the scholar-official. Printing had been invented in the late Tang, and by Song times books were more widely available and much less expensive. Increased access to education and the expanded civil service examination system brought more scholars into government service than ever before. As competition for civil service positions increased, the prestige of scholar-officials also grew, and by the end of the Song period, the scholar-official had achieved significant cultural, social, and political importance.

    Extractions: ISBN - 1 87604 15 1 If there is anything connecting management and unions - and sometimes government - in the European Community, it is fear of the Orient. From Hokkaido to Penang extends the great productive crescent. Its exports come in volumes and at prices disturbing to an economic balance between East and West which even twenty years ago might have seemed part of the natural order. And now the crescent is filling in. Chinese manufactures are appearing in the shops. These are still crude and often funny to look at. But the question is being asked with insistent frequency - what will happen when the principles which have made Hong Kong what it is are applied to a thousand million people? There are two possible answers to this. The first is simple. It will make a thousand million people and all those trading with them very well off. For myself, I doubt if anything costing money has given me as much joy as my Taiwanese wordprocessor. What the Chinese proper will try selling me in ten years time I await with eager hope. The second, however, seems at the moment rather more likely. It is that we shall be dragged behind a cordon of Euro-tariffs and Euro-quotas. In the name of `fair trade' we shall be forced to buy European goods of increasing relative dearness, or not to buy at all. The case for protectionism has been demolished so often and so utterly that showing its economic cost would be a routine use of common sense. Much more interesting is to wonder how politically feasible it can remain. For how long can a market of any size be shut to a more dynamic outsider? There was a time when of all the Europeans the British were best able to know the answer to this. And there really is no better answer to it now than to look at certain events of the last century, when the boot was on the other foot.
