Read this excerpt from "Letter to George III, 1793" by Emperor Qian Long: Your request for a small island near Chusan, where you

r merchants may reside and goods be warehoused, arises from your desire to develop trade. . . . [S]uch an island would be utterly useless for your purposes. Every inch of the territory of our Empire is marked on the map and the strictest vigilance is exercised over it all: even tiny islets and far-lying sand-banks are clearly defined as part of the provinces to which they belong. Consider, moreover, that England is not the only barbarian land which wishes to establish . . . trade with our Empire. Which two ideas about colonialism are most clearly expressed in this excerpt? A. China will engage in colonialism; the Chinese consider people from other nations easy to control. B. China will welcome England; the Chinese consider Britain superior to other nations. C. China will accept some nonviolent colonialism; the Chinese consider foreign trade unnecessary. D. China will resist trade; the Chinese consider people from other nations to be inferior.

The right answer is "D. China will resist trade; the Chinese consider people from other nations to be inferior."

Qianlong not only refused King George III's request for the establishment of commerce, but also showed contempt for the numerous gifts given by Lord Macartney in an attempt to seduce him with the creations of the rising British industry.

Qianlong also pointed out that the Europeans absolutely needed the silk, china and tea produced by China and that the permission to export them was a sign of the Chinese Empire's benevolence. The letter also revealed the conviction that China held a superior position in relation to all other nations in the world:

Answer: D) China will resist trade; the Chinese consider people from other nations to be inferior.

Explanation: In the excerpt we can see that China will resist trade, it says that Emperor Qian refused to provide a small island for the English merchants to reside, also he claims that England is not the only country that wished to establish trade with them. The other idea, that the Chinese consider people from other nations to be inferior, is very clear when the Emperor calls England "a barbarian land".
