Biased edit

Their atrocities at Ningpo and Macao, and their subsequent servility, had opened the eyes of the Celestials to their true character , and unfortunately for other European adventurers, they had come to the conclusion that all western nations were alike. - Is it just me or things like "true character" and "unfortunately" doesn't belong in a historical description and in Wikipedia? even more when the reference is a recollection of memories from the 19th c. and written by englishmen, who were therefore biased especially when regarding other europeans and their presence where they ment to be of influence. I would recommend a profound rewrite or full deletion of that section. E-roxo (talk) 19:12, 9 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • I've added a POV tag. Very biased indeed. Obviously who wrote it, had clear political inclinations, in order to negativelly affect relations between both countries possibly due to the Portugal-China-Lusophone Africa-Brazil partnership established sometime ago. But can we save something out of it? It needs major rewritting, it is even written as an opinion.--Pedro (talk) 00:12, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • This article is a profoundly unbalanced and sensationalistic mess in dire need of an overhaul ASAP. The "Ming Dynasty" section should be broken down into 1513-1522 (arrival of the Portuguese until they were banned), 1522-1557 (period of exclusion until the foundation of Macau), and 1557-1644 (until the end of the Ming dynasty). A period between 1509-1513 (first contacts between Portuguese and Chinese in Malacca) should come before that. Relations between Portugal and China during the Qing dynasty were also obviously not limited to the Chinese arresting some hooligans unaffiliated with the Portuguese state.
