Comment on Historical Events-Magney's Visit to China

Magyarni's mission to China, also known as Magyarni's visit to China, refers to 1793 (58th year of Qianlong). The British government hoped to negotiate with the highest authorities of the Qing Dynasty and collect information while exploring the China market, so it sent George Macartney and others to visit China [1][2].

However, due to the completely different political and economic structures between China and Britain, the two governments have adopted an uncompromising and tenacious struggle attitude in their respective interests in order to safeguard their respective social systems and historical traditions. Therefore, the conflict between the two sides inevitably broke out in this diplomatic activity. This led to the failure of diplomatic negotiations [3].

The Magalny Mission is the first British diplomatic mission to China, the most important early exchange between China and Britain, and an important event in the history of Sino-British relations.
