Asian Empire and British Knowledge: China and the Networks of British Imperial Expansion

by Ulrike Hillemann

Rather than treating these changes in British understanding as if Anglo-Sino relations were purely bilateral, this study looks at how British imperial networks in India and Southeast Asia were critical mediators in the British encounter of China.
