1843: [[China]] and [[U.K.]] signed '''Treaty of the Bogue'''

On October 8, 1843, [[Qiying]], an imperial envoy of [[China]]'s [[Qing]] government, signed the '''Treaty of the Bogue''' with British minister [[Henry Pottinger]] at Humen, [[Guangdong]], in order to supplement the previous [[Treaty of Nanking]]. The '''Treaty of the Bogue''' was originally called the supplementary Treaty of Commerce in Five Ports ([[Guangzhou]], [[Xiamen]], [[Fuzhou]], [[Ningbo]] and [[Shanghai]]) or the Inventory Treaty of Supplementary Affairs. The treaty gave [[Britain]] most-favored-nation status and extraterritoriality.

The treaty paved the way for the subjugation of [[China]] to Western imperialism. It consolidated the "opening" of [[China]] to foreign trade in the wake of the [[First Opium War]] and allowed British to reside in parts of [[China]], which had not been opened to foreigners before.
