Base your answer to the following question on the passage below and on your knowledge of social

. . . . Our celestial empire [China] rules over ten thousand kingdoms! Most surely do we possess a
measure of godlike majesty which ye cannot fathom! Still we cannot bear to slay or exterminate
without previous warning, and it is for this reason that we now clearly make known to you the
fixed laws of our land. If the foreign merchants of your said honorable nation desire to
continue their commercial intercourse, they then must tremblingly obey our recorded statutes,
they must cut off forever the source from which the opium flows, and on no account make an
experiment of our laws in their own persons! Let then your highness [Queen Victoria] punish
those of your subjects who may be criminal, do not endeavor to screen or conceal them, and
thus you will secure peace and quietness to your possessions, thus will you more than ever
display a proper sense of respect and obedience, and thus may we unitedly enjoy the common
blessings of peace and happiness. What greater joy! What more complete felicity [harmony]
than this! . . .

. … Since the beginning of China as a nation, we Chinese have governed our own country despite
occasional interruptions. When China was occasionally occupied by a foreign race, our ancestors
could always in the end drive these foreigners out, restore the fatherland, and preserve China
for future generations of Chinese. Today when we raise the righteous standard of revolt in
order to expel an alien race [the Manchus] that has been occupying China, we are doing no more
than our ancestors have done or expected us to do. Justice is so much on our side that all
Chinese, once familiarizing themselves with our stand, will have no doubt about the
righteousness of our cause.…
