Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Amherst’s diplomatic mission to the Qing Court in 1816 was the second British embassy to China. The first led by Lord Macartney in 1793 had failed to achieve its goals. It was thought that Amherst had better prospects of success, but the intense diplomatic encounter that greeted his arrival ended badly. Amherst never appeared before the Jiaqing emperor and his embassy was expelled from Peking on the day it arrived. Historians have blamed Amherst for this outcome, citing his over-reliance on the advice of his Second Commissioner, Sir George Thomas Staunton, not to kowtow before the emperor. Detailed analysis of British sources reveal that Amherst was well informed on the kowtow issue and made his own decision for which he took full responsibility. Success was always unlikely because of irreconcilable differences in approach. China’s conduct of foreign relations based on the tributary system required submission to the emperor, thus relegating all foreign emissaries and the rulers they represented to vassal status, whereas British diplomatic practice was centred on negotiation and Westphalian principles of equality between nations. The Amherst embassy’s failure revised British assessments of China and led some observers to believe that force, rather than diplomacy, might be required in future to achieve British goals. The Opium War of 1840 that followed set a precedent for foreign interference in China, resulting in a century of ‘humiliation’. This resonates today in President Xi Jinping’s call for ‘National Rejuvenation’ to restore China’s historic place at the centre of a new Sino-centric global order.

Excerpt: ...entry at Jehol, by the Grand Choulaa, the Imperial Ministerof state: but on what grounds this expectation was formed, or for what reason it received such a disappointment, it is not for me to offer a conjecture. On our arrival, Lieut. Col. Benson ordered the troops to hold themselves in readiness to fall into a line at a momends warning; and desired the fervants, mechanit, &e. to range themselves in order before the d 'or of the Ambassadofs apartments, in order t_ receive the Grand Choulaa, who was expectedi every moment to pay his visit of salutation and welcome. In this state of suspense we remained from our arrival till past four o'clock; in the course of which time we had paraded at least a dozen times, as several mandarins came to take a curious_ view of us, and every one.of them was supposed, in his turn, to be the Grand Choulaa. The arrival of dinner, however, put an end to all expectations of seeing him on this day. The palace, which was now become the residence of the embassy, is built on the declivity of 1 7 9 3. a hill; the entrance to it is by eight large broad stPtfmhsff-i steps which lead to a wooden gateway, through which there is a passage to a large court, paved in the centre with large flat stones.
