Abstract
This chapter is part of the alternative history of Britain's relations with China, implicitly challenging the conventional narrative of mutual suspicion and subsequent confrontation by examining a selection of 'minor narratives of cross-cultural collaboration' from the eighteenth century to the first Opium War (1839-42).
