This is a very good description of the events and their implications, especially given its brevity. I particularly liked how you discussed some of the implications in Japan that followed. It's always difficult in describing history to know where to draw the line. What do you include and what do you leave out? Everything in history is always more complex and nuanced that it first appears. Without further context, we can sometimes be left feeling that 'nothing else is happening' for those involved at the time. On that basis, I would liked to have seen a little more discussion of the political, economic and cultural context in Europe, China and in the areas producing the opium. For example, the contentious debates in Britain, the (often unexplored) factors influencing the Chinese response (both before and after Zexu), and how the subsequent events influence Chinese historical and political narratives (e.g. the century of humiliation) to this day.
Thank you Sir superb information 🙏
