- McCartney and the English brought all sorts of gifts in exchange for tea, although there is a huge language barrier and the Chinese cannot understand what he is saying they then find it as a disgrace that McCartney does not kowtow to the emperor. there is a huge cultural mis understanding leading to no trade
- the British want to trade opium with the Chinese but the emperor says no. the peasants also want the opium because they are addicted but the emperor still refuses because it is damaging china.
- the British were furious that the Chinese thought that they were allowed to tell the British what to do in china, so they mobilized the royal navy for war. the Chinese were not worried about this as they thought the British could only win on water and not on land.
