Trade with the ememy in the revolutionary war hinged on international law. The U.S model commercial treaty of 1776 and the treaty of Armity.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The British were a trading nation and felt that while China was quite prepared to export porcelain, silk and tea to the British and obtain lots of money for this, they were refusing to allow the British to send and sell British goods (apart from mechanical devices like clocks) in China. In other words there was an artificial imbalance in the arrangements for trade imposed by the Chinese authorities. The British felt this was not fair and decided to undermine the Chinese government imposing it.
