Answer:

Lin described the British merchants as "people who are carefully of their own lives but rather are careless of other people's live and indifferent in the gain they want to make not considering the harm others "

Explanation:

Lin Zexu was the commissioner in charge of the trading port in of the east India company in Canton. He was appointed by the Emperor based on the death of his son as result of overdose intake of the opium that was imported into China.

However, Lin made all efforts to stop all these importation by taking all strict measures to end the trade. He put more efforts by writing letter to the Queen informing her of the atrocities committed by the British merchants involved in the opium trade.

The British were uncooperative which lead to Lin seizing their goods there by resulting in the opium war of 1839-1842. It lead to Lin being removed and the trade was renegotiated between Britain and China because they won the war.
