Question

The original usage of the term “comprador” denoted servants in this non-Portuguese city who went to the market to buy for their households. This city is the capital of a province where native peoples referred to as Punti massacred a group whose name means “guest families” during a 13-year-long “Clan War.” That war was sparked by lingering resentment from the Red Turban’s failed attempt to capture this city. This city was the center of the (*) Thirteen Factories monopoly (-5[1])which arose out of the Qianlong (10[1])emperor’s isolationist policy. (-5[1])It’s not Hong Kong, but two 1841 battles during the First Opium War centered around this Pearl River port city, (-5[1])which was the only city where foreign trade was allowed. For 10 points, name this capital of Guǎngdōng province, which lends its alternate name to a dialect of Chinese spoken in Hong (10[1])Kong. ■END■ (10[2])
