Abstract
Qing China chose self-imposed isolation against its rebels based on Taiwan, but its commercial links with foreign countries were not totally cut off. The Portuguese managed to keep Macau open through the good offices of the Jesuit priest Adam Schall by promising not to make contact with the inland Chinese. The Dutch still maintained some trade relationship with coastal China, and persistently sought a trade agreement with the Chinese government in Beijing.
