Moreover, Emperor Qianlong disapproved of King Taksin’s mixed-race and usurpation. As such, King Taksin had made a lot of effort until Emperor Qianlong approved of his status as a Thai King. However, King Taksin was not submissive to the Emperor. Keywords: King Taksin, Emperor Qianlong, Thai-Chinese relations in Thonburi period
