Skirmish at Kowloon See also: Battle of Kowloon
In early July 1839 a group of British merchant sailors in Kowloon became intoxicated after consuming rice liqueur. Two of the sailors became agitated with and beat to death Lin Weixi, a villager from nearby Tsim Sha Tsui.[65][66] Superintendent Elliot ordered the arrest of the two men, and paid compensation to Lin's family and village. However, he refused a request to turn the sailors over to Chinese authorities.

<Second Opium War
During 1856β1860, British forces fought towards
legalisation of the opium trade,
to expand coolie trade,
to open all of China to British merchants, and
to exempt foreign imports from internal transit duties.
France joined the British.
The war is also known as the "Arrow War", referring to the name of a vessel at the starting point of the conflict.
The war resulted in a second group of treaty ports being set up; eventually more than 80 treaty ports were established in China, involving many foreign powers.
All foreign traders gained rights to travel within China.
