Convention of Kyakhta (1768)
On 18 October 1768 a Convention was signed modifying Article X of the original treaty making punishments more explicit. This was due to the Qing conquest of the Zunghar Khanate, causing rebels to cross the border and other problems which led the Chinese to curtail trade in 1762 and suspend it in 1765.

Famous quotes containing the word convention:
“No convention gets to be a convention at all except by grace of a lot of clever and powerful people first inventing it, and then imposing it on others. You can be pretty sure, if you are strictly conventional, that you are following genius—a long way off. And unless you are a genius yourself, that is a good thing to do.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
