Read the following excerpt from Emperor Qian Long's Letter to King George ll in England in 1793:
If you assert that your reverence for Our Celestial dynasty
fills you with a desire to acquire our civilisation, our
ceremonies and code of laws differ so completely from
your own that, even if your Envoy were able to acquire the
rudiments of our civilisation, you could not possibly
transplant our manners and customs to your alien soil.
Therefore, however adept the Envoy might become,
nothing would be gained thereby.
Based on this excerpt, what can most logically be concluded about Emperor
Qian Long's point of view?
OA. British culture should be highly valued by all nations.
OB. The British are too crude to adapt the more refined Chinese
CUStoms.
