Answer:

The Opium War signals the beginning of the age of discriminatory treaties between China and international colonial powers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Opium War signals the beginning of the age of discriminatory treaties between China and international colonial powers (mainly Great Britain, Russia, France, Germany, the United States, and Japan) where China was compelled to surrender much of its territorial and sovereign rights.This and other restrictions on China's sovereignty help weaken and eventually overthrew the dynasty.
