The Chinese wanted silver, but there wasnt any in the region, so they had to trade with the West They also went through a time when many wanted Opium, and they had to get that from the British citizens in China were allowed to be tried in British courts instead of Chinese. China soon after was forced to sign more treaties with Britain, France, the United States, and Russia.
