Equal Treaties. Introduction to the event.
The Treaty of Whampoa, the first unequal treaty signed between France and China. That is, the "Sino-French Five Mouth ** Charter". After the Opium War, France took advantage of the difficult situation of China's defeat and sent a special envoy to lead eight ships with eight ships after Britain and the United States, and arrived in Macao on August 13, 1844 (June 30, 24th year of Daoguang) to negotiate with Qi Ying, the governor of Liangguang in the Qing Dynasty.
On October 24, the two sides signed a contract on the French ship Ajimert, which was anchored in Huangpu, Guangzhou, with a total of 36 paragraphs, with the "Customs Tariff Rules". France not only easily obtained all kinds of important rights that Britain and the United States had already obtained, such as the five-port trade agreement, customs agreements, consular jurisdiction, and one-sided most-favored-nation treatment, but also seized some new privileges. For example, when the French rent a house or rent land to build a house on their own, "the number of rooms and the lot are wide, and there is no need to negotiate a limit".
The treaty gave the French the right to build chapels and cemeteries in Wukou, and stipulated that China should bear the obligation to protect them. After the treaty was signed, the envoy forced the Qing to lift the ban on Catholicism. On December 28 (November 19), the Catholic ban was lifted.
On February 8 of the following year (the second day of the first month of the twenty-fifth year), Emperor Daoguang officially promulgated the relaxation ban.

It's also clear**.
The first unequal treaty with the United States.
The Treaty of Whampoa, also known as the Sino-French Statute of the Five Mouths: Customs Tariff Rules, was an unequal treaty signed between the Qing Dynasty and France in Huangpu, Guangzhou, on October 24, 1844 (the 24th year of Daoguang), and was also an unequal treaty between France and China.
Background of the Treaty of Wangxia and the Treaty of Whampoa:
Britain launched the Opium War of aggression against China, forced the Qing Dynasty to sign an unequal treaty, and attacked the country for Western capitalists.
The invasion of China opened the door, and from then on, invaders from various countries followed. The first is the United States, which was in cahoots with Britain during the war and came to blackmail as soon as the war ended. As for France, it has long had aggressive ambitions against China.
Therefore, in 1844, the United States and France successively forced China to sign unequal treaties, which were the Sino-US "Wangxia Treaty" and the Sino-French "Whampoa Treaty".

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 Nanjing, which was China's first unequal treaty, ceded Hong Kong from Britain, was the first treaty in which China gave up its territory, and was a disgrace to the Chinese nation. Because of this treaty, the European powers opened the door to China.
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.
