Question

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 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 (-5[1])this Pearl River port city, which was the only city where foreign trade was allowed.
