When portugal first sent representatives to peking, china: they were received and given many gifts; they pillaged and burned; catholics were ordered to renounce their faith; they were kicked out and given a base at macao

The correct answer is
they were kicked out and given a base at Macao

It might seem surreal but it actually belonged to Portugal up until 1999 when it was officially returned back to China. At first it was leased to Portugal for trading but it eventually became a colony and remained as such until 1999. It is now an autonomous region.

Do you have more info about it ? i doubt this is the answer because i don't have all the information but if trouble was brewing in a clinic maybe it was an argument as to which clinic was better or smth of that nature
