Treaty influence:

1. The signing of treaty of nanking made China become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Before the signing of the treaty, China was an economically independent country, and the self-sufficient feudal economy occupied a dominant position; After the signing of the treaty, China's sovereignty over its territory, territorial sea and judiciary was destroyed.

The foreign invaders used the privilege of aggression to dump goods and plunder raw materials in China, and gradually involved the China market in the world capitalist market, and China's self-sufficient feudal economy gradually disintegrated; Since then, China has gradually become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society from a feudal society.

2. The Beijing Treaty not only fully confirmed Britain's aggressive rights and interests gained through the Sino-British Tianjin Treaty, but also blackmailed China. Through this treaty, Britain once again occupied territory from China, extorted a large amount of compensation, and once again undermined China's territorial sovereignty.

confirmed the right of the British minister to be stationed in Beijing, so that Britain could interfere with the Qing government nearby. Tianjin was turned into a trading port, which enabled western capitalist countries to expand into the political center of China.

3. After the expiration of the contract, the Special Article on Expanding the Boundary of Hong Kong should be returned to the Qing government in the New Territories, but the Qing government has collapsed and China and Britain have started negotiations on the transfer of sovereignty. In the mid-197s, the business community in Hong Kong began to pay attention to the issue of the expiry of special treaties, worrying about whether the land leases granted by the Hong Kong Government in the New Territories would extend beyond 1997 and whether the land leases involving the New Territories would still take effect after 1997.

In March p>1979, the lease will expire in less than 2 years. In order to solve the land lease problem, Sir MacLehose, the governor, visited China for the first time, which led to the future negotiations of Hong Kong.
