Until the founding of Hong Kong and the opening of other ports in the 1840s, it was also the main gateway to China for independent British merchants and their only place of permanent residence. Drawing extensively on Portuguese as well as British sources, The British Presence in Macau traces Anglo- Portuguese relations in South China from the first arrival of English trading ships in the 1630s to the establishment of factories at Canton, the beginnings of the opium trade, and the Macartney Embassy of 1793. Longstanding allies in the west, the British and Portuguese pursued more complex relations in the east, as trading interests clashed under a Chinese imperial system and as the British increasingly asserted their power. 410 0$aRoyal Asiatic Society books. 606 $aBritish$zChina$zMacau (Special Administrative Region) 607 $aMacau (China : Special Administrative Region)$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aMacau (China : Special Administrative Region)$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aPortugal$xForeign relations$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zPortugal 607 $aPortugal$xColonies$zAsia$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aPortugal$xColonies$zAsia$xHistory$y18th century 615 0$aBritish 676 $a951.26032 700 $aPuga$b Roge?rio Miguel$0600188 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825917003321 996 $aThe British presence in Macau, 1635-1793$94102343 997 $aUNINA
