Read this excerpt from "Letter to George III, 1793" by Emperor Qian Long: Regarding your nation's worship of the Lord of Heaven, it is
the same religion as that of other European nations. Ever
since the beginning of history, sage Emperors and wise
rulers have bestowed on China a moral system and
inculcated a code, which from time immemorial has been
religiously observed by the myriads of my subjects. ... The
distinction between Chinese and barbarian is most strict,
and your Ambassador's request that barbarians shall be
given full liberty to disseminate their religion is utterly
unreasonable.
Which two ideas about colonialism are most clearly expressed in this
excerpt?
