Why did Chinese officials consider European traders to be smugglers?

Chinese officials considered European traders to be smugglers because at the time, China had strict regulations and restrictions on foreign trade. European traders, particularly during the period of colonial expansion and mercantilism, often engaged in unauthorized trade and smuggling of goods into China, circumventing the official channels and regulations set by the Chinese government. This led to a perception that European traders were operating illegally and outside the established trade policies of China.
