A past-oriented society, safe only in seclusion, sensed a threat from the importunate West. The Imperial Government raised every barrier possible by refusals, evasions, postponements, and prohibitions to foreign entry or settlement or the opening of formal relations. Splendid-ly remote in the “Great Within’’ of the Forbidden City of Peking, the court refused to concern itself with the knocking on its doors. It would admit foreign embassies who came to plead for trade treaties only if they performed the ritual of three genuflections and nine prostrations in approaching the Son of Heaven. British envoys, after surmounting in-numerable obstacles to reach Peking, balked at the kowtow and turned back empty-handed.

The word “importunate’’ is reinforced by the author’s later reference to A.“prohibitions to foreign entry’’ B.“formal relations’’ C.“knocking on its doors’’ D.“the ritual of three genuflections’’
