In the mid-19th century, there was widespread effort to persuade the Chinese to adopt a more Western approach to diplomacy and governance.
China and the United States concluded the Treaty of Berlin-Me-Suwad in 1868 to expand the 1858 Treaty of Tientsin. The new treaty establishes some basic principles aimed at easing immigration restrictions and represents China's efforts to limit U.S. interference in China's internal affairs.

Anson Burlingame was a lawyer, a former Republican congressional representative in Massachusetts, and in 1861 he became U.S. minister to China, at the behest of Secretary of State William Seward, to make the United States an Eastern power. The United States wants to have lucrative opportunities and promote the spread of religion in Asia, while major European countries are also trying to make inroads into China and Japan.
In order to persuade the Chinese to adopt a more Western approach to diplomacy and governance, Western powers have also encouraged China to send diplomatic missions overseas. Eventually, the Chinese were convinced, and they asked Bollinger to accompany their representatives on major cities such as Washington, London, Paris, and Berlin. Burlingam was originally a representative of the United States, and he gave up his position to assist the Chinese in treaty negotiations with Seward.

While in Washington, Blingam negotiated a treaty with Sewards to revise and expand the points identified in the 1858 Treaty of Tientsin. The first few articles of the new treaty protected commercial activities conducted in Chinese ports and cities, and provided that China had the right to appoint consuls in U.S. port cities. More groundbreaking provisions include measures that promise Chinese the right to freely immigrate and travel within the United States and allow for the protection of Chinese citizens in the United States under the most-favored-nation principle. Another provision provides that citizens of the two countries have equal access to education and access while living in each other's country. All these provisions reinforce the principle of equality between the two countries.
The last article of the Böhringen-Seward Treaty provided China with some protection from external influences in its internal affairs. In this article, the United States recognizes that the decision to begin a new construction project or similar improvement project rests with the local**, not with a foreign power or its representative. This is aimed at preventing the United States from unduly interfering in China's internal affairs.
Although the treaty provided reciprocal protection for Chinese in the United States and Americans in China, it ultimately strengthened U.S. interests in China under the most-favored-nation principle and ensured that U.S. companies had continued access to low-cost Chinese migrant labor. For these reasons, U.S. industrial leaders initially celebrated the treaty as a major step forward in U.S. business interests.
Conclusion. The treaty made it possible for large numbers of Chinese laborers to move into the United States.
However, the success of the treaty was short-lived. By the end of the 19-70s, American industrial leaders and politicians could no longer ignore the growing anti-Chinese sentiment in the United States, especially in the western states; In fact, industrialists and politicians often promote anti-Chinese activities. A new treaty signed in 1880 amended the Birlingen-Seward Accords, and the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 abolished the free immigration clause altogether.
