The rupture is due to China's unwillingness to give effect to the fkin clause in the Mackay treaty:

Articles in the treaty framed by ie James Mackay in 1903, having no less than 16 sections divided into several sub-sections. The preamble la the article reads: "Ihe Chinese overnment recognising that the system of levying likin and other dues on goods at the place of pro. duction, in transit, and at destination, impedes the free, circulation of commodities and injures, the in crests of tradé, hereby undertake to disk card completely those means of raising revenue wish the bmitation mealioned in section 8, The British Government in return consent to allow surtax, in excess of the tariff rates for
