· **Analyze ** Zixu’s argument against the British smuggling of Opium · **Evaluate ** his attitude towards the British · **Explain **: What does this document tell us about the relations between China and the West in the 19th century. Analyze : Zixu argument against the British smuggling of Opium was very straight forward, I mean he got them at really good points like for example when Zixu said that all the trading he does with the goods he has can give him a lot of profit , and to other countries to so why try to sell opium with them when if Britain gets their goods they can get an huge profit with it. so basically zixu argument was good with the details of why they shouldn’t send/sell the opium to China Evaluate : Zixu was not happy with Britain at all of course because he didn’t want that anywhere near his people because everyone even Britain themselves should know the effects of it. he always was kind of like a bully because in the last paragraph he was like that they better understand what they mean and better replay back or else they wouldn’t give them things, so he was just really bossy which at all isn’t a good idea because obviously Britain was going to come back at them. but basically he was upset, bully type , and angry Explain : this document tells that the relationship between China and the West in the 19th century was a difficult relationship because everyone didn't really want to be a part of China and didn't really liked what they did. So China and the West in the 19th century relationship was an off and on relationship that couldn't have been decided at those times.

Dear Queen Victoria,
==== I do not think you should trade with China .. AT ALL. Even though they said very good “statements” in their letter, I personally believe it is all bullshit to get you to stay under their spell of trying to take your money and land. China is a very ungrateful type of country and just wants all the fame and glory to be all about them. I can prove this by showing evidence from their own letter and from personally self seen. ==== ==== “The wealth of China is used to profit the barbarians”, I know I start off by picking a quote from their letter but you must understand why it’s the first choice I picked my lady. Barbarians are “ savage, primitive state; uncivilized person ”, they are calling our people “barbarians” when I personally think we are classy people just trying to make money just as them ! . Drugs are everything in the world, it helps cure people and maybe the Chinese don’t realize maybe the Opium can help them with a very weird sick disease they don’t know about. ==== ====The way China came and destroyed our warehouses, OUR WAREHOUSES without any evidence of having opium in our warehouses and just thinking we had them , and my lady we didn't. They destroyed our business, the way Britain functions and everyone in the world deserves money but BUT China. I cannot tell you how important it is not to traded with them, they are heartless , money stealing people. Who ONLY thing about themselves. I do not, actually I know you do not want to trade with China because their ways are wrong , and our ways are right. ==== ==== My queen i'm making this a short letter because I don't believe I have to prove anything to you, the Chinese proved they are not useless for trade and rude. Their letter says it all, everything they said is a lie my lady , believe my word. ====
