The article is about the decision that His Majesty the Emperor of China made to allow British subjects with their families and belongings to stay in China. The decision ensured that British citizens conducted their mercantile pursuits without being harassed. The article explains how the Emperor allowed the British to appoint their superintendents in the main cities to facilitate communication between the merchants and Chinese authorities. That was a strategy to prepare for the Nanking Treaty and hence makes the article relevant for reserach.[University of Canterbury. The Treaty of Nanking 1842.

The Journal talks about how the Nanking Treaty contributed to foreign trade in China. The British had developed ports in Hong Kong where they would refit their ship and keep stores. That was possible since his Majesty the Emperor of China ceded to her Majesty, the Queen of England.
