One point is missing; by the start of the 19th century, the British govt, were sending emissaries to deal with the Chinese leaders, but incurred outrage when the British diplomats arrogantly refused to act* humbly by tradition when introduced to the leaders. On one trip back from China, the diplomats made a stop over at St.Helena, where Napoleon had already heard about their disastrous mission, and he made critical statements about what Britain's trade mission had lost by not getting off their high horses as mere diplomats and instead getting down to the business of amicably establishing trading between the powers. Yet another costly British Empire blunder for a foreign state half a world away. Gunboat Diplomacy is more appropriate than "trade conflict"..... Imagine the movie Independence Day, with big Alien ships hovering over the capitals in total control.

I have the story correct. Country officials can be as arrogant as they want, but if Britain wanted to trade with a foreign power, they should choose to have their emissaries remember what that status is, or else don't go away arrogantly and then setting up the failure to properly negotiate as a pretext to plan gunboat diplomacy in the end - as Britain did across 25% of the world > that couldn't fight back on equal footing.

[@cynderfan2233]

They refused to kowtow (get down on their knees and bow so low that their heads touch the floor) to the Chinese Emperor. The British were perfectly willing to pay respect to the Chinese Emperor, but bowing lower for him than they would for their own king was out of the question. The mission failed not because of British arrogance, but because the Chinese mistook the intention of the mission. They assumed that it was a tribute mission to the Emperor rather than an attempt to demonstrate the value of trade with Britain.

[@BaronsHistoryTimes]

@@cynderfan2233 Still my point holds - Emissaries can do whatever they choose. British in this matter wanted everything their own way - too arrogant as mere diplomats to show traditional respect and thus sacrifice the likely start of a healthy international business relationship.
