[quote=WANHU,506219]Dear BBQQ, do you remember the Opium War that ended with the Treaty of nanking (Nanjing)? The aftermath, China has to accept foreign traders who were interested not only to take things from China but to colonise and put China under their control. All these foreigners are not governed under Chinese Laws. They have special concessions created by these super powers, namely, British, US, Germany and France. Some of these superpowers incited the Chinese to rebel against Qing thus caused Taiping Rebellion where later the Small Sword Society took over Shanghai. Funny thing is, the westerners were untouched. Kidnapping was common in Shanghai thus the word "shanghai" became another term used by the foreigners to mean kidnap. Wan[/quote]
