    Treaty of Whampoa

    The Treaty of Whampoa gave France all the privileges that the United States had acquired in the Treaty of Wangha, and at the same time stipulated that French Catholics were allowed to preach freely in treaty ports and build cemeteries, and that the Qing Dynasty was responsible for protecting churches and cemeteries. Through the Sino-French Treaty of Whampoa, France obtained the privileges of the Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing, the Treaty of Humen, except for land cession and indemnity, as well as all the privileges stipulated in the Sino-US Treaty of Wangxia, which had a disastrous impact on China. This treaty also laid the first cornerstone for foreign invaders to use their missionary rights to carry out open aggression against China.

    The Treaty of Whampoa, like the Treaty of Wangxia, further undermined China's autonomy in the administration of justice, tariffs, and territorial waters.

The Treaty of Wangxia was another heavier shackle imposed on China, and became a model for the Treaty of Whampoa and other imperialist powers to sign unequal treaties with China. It was the first criminal record of the early US aggression against China, and it quietly undermined China's independence and sovereignty. The conclusion of the "Wang-Ha Treaty" made the formal diplomatic relations between China and the United States based on inequality from the very beginning, and this could not but cast a heavy shadow on the development of Sino-US relations in the future.
