Chapter 2 in China and the Global Economy Since 1840, 2000, pp 28-41 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Opium War initiated a period during which, under the pressure of armed conflict, diplomatic manoeuvring and political and military blackmail, China was locked into an iron-clad treaty system, from which it was not freed until 1943, a little more than 100 years later. The treaties were signed by the Chinese government and individual countries, but the privileges acquired by any Western country through a single treaty were automatically conferred on other Western countries because of the most-favoured-nation clause.
