In Nanjing, China conceded the colony of Hong Kong, which would remain under British rule until 1997. British citizens would also be guaranteed immunity from prosecution under Chinese Law. China also conceded other ports and Shanghai became an international zone. The treaty represented a development in British imperial policy. 

Hong Kong is a modest sized colony, but it’s strategic and economic importance was significant. It was treasured as a jewel in the East of the British Empire. For many, its transfer to Chinese control in 1997 represented a symbolic end of empire and of a colonial way of life. Hong Kong was, and remains, significant as a place where cultures meet, mingle and fuse. The return of Hong Kong to China can be said to have put an end to the last continuing provisions of the Treaty of Nanking, most of which had already been consigned to history.

Although this source was from 1976 and appears to be a response by China explaining their view and opinions of the Boxer Rebellion, I thought it was important because it shows how China wished to rewrite history to fit their own beliefs. China's quotes towards the end about how “the imperialists labelled it a manifestation of the ‘hostility of the yellow race towards the white race’” show that China did not like how they were referred to in prejudiced terms by the West. Furthermore, the quote of how the Boxer Rebellion showed ‘Chinese hatred for European culture and civilization’ proves the point of how the West did not view China favorably at the turn of the century.
