It is essentially a struggle between expansion and anti-expansion. However, the objective reason for this is that the Sino-British Treaty does not stipulate Clarify differences between China and Britain on treaty interpretation. The Chaozhou incident into the city is a typical and exceptional case of this conflict and is also the peak of the clashes. The crux of the British side’s repeated unsuccessful negotiations with the Qing government during the treaty negotiations lies in the unequal nature of the modern Sino-British treaty.
