Despite Britain's growing apprehension with the Canton System, the selling of opium appeased British resentment for the system, and it remained intact until the Opium Wars , which established "treaty ports" in accordance with the Treaty Of Nanking , which were ruled not by Chinese laws but rather the laws of the specific country that controlled each port. Britain got their opium from their colony India. |
