All the while this was happening, the western powers were starting to encroach on Qing territory, with the Russians to the north and the British taking Tibet from the south.

In the Treaty of London (1892), the British and Russians agreed to cease expansion into Central Asia and recognize the state of the Uighur Khagan. On the treaty, the state was called "Serindia," which combines the terms ''Seres'' (China) and India, referring to its geographical position. It is the namesake of the modern-day state in English sources.
