[D] Trade proposal to the British Empire
Post Body

The Celestial Emperor has deemed it to fit to offer the following proposal to the British Empire, in order to defuse recent tensions, and resolve the opium debate

The British Empire will be granted the following privileges:

  • They will be the only party authorized to import Opium

  • They will be allowed to trade in China

  • They will be permitted to have an establishment for this trade in Canton

In return, the Celestial Emperor demands the following:

  • The British will persecute any illegal Opium imports

  • The British will not trade outside of Canton, or other assigned ports

  • The Celestial Empire reserves any right to regulate opium usage within it's borders

  • The British will perform Kowtow to recognize the generosity of the Celestial Emperor

In addition, the Imperial administration will examine the situation in Canton every 6 months, if deemed necessary, and desirable, more ports may be opened up to trade, depending on the behaviour of British merchants
