Tientsin Anglo-Chinese Treaty of 1858

an agreement imposed on China by Great Britain during the Opium War of 1856–60. The treaty, which was signed in Tientsin on June 26, provided for the opening of five seaports to British trade—Niuchuang, Yent’ai (Chefoo), Kiungchow, Shant’ou (Swatow), and T’aiwanfu (now T’ainan, on the island of Taiwan). It also granted to British subjects the right to travel freely anywhere in China, whether for commercial or other reasons, and permitted British vessels to navigate the Yangtze River and use three river ports for trade. The treaty furthermore required that the Chinese pay an indemnity of four million taels, authorized the establishment of a British embassy in Peking, and set low tariffs for British imports.
