The above mentioned statement is False
Step-by-step explanation:
Sir George Macartney is the first Great Britain's envoy to China whose aim motto was to establish a healthy trade relationship with china.
He formed an embassy known as the "Macartney embassy " which intended to trade goods from Europe to china.
This embassy failed to achieve what it meant for as the Chinese refused all the goods of Europe and was not interested to establish a healthy trade relationship with Europe as none of their goods is required by them.
Europeans requested tea in exchange to silk which the Chinese felt unfair and hence they refused the trade.
This is the exact reason and hence we can conclude that the above provided statement is False.
