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 emperor’s isolationist policy. It’s not Hong Kong, but two 1841 battles during the First Opium War centered around this Pearl River port city, which was the only city where foreign trade was allowed. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this capital of Guǎngdōng province, which lends its alternate name to a dialect of Chinese spoken in Hong (-5[1])Kong. ■END■ (10[3])
