At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the province merged with the prefecture and renamed Xinhui prefecture as a state. In 1902, Britain forced the Qing government to sign the "Sino British Continuation of the Treaty of Commerce and Shipping", which established Jiangmen as a foreign trade port and set up customs accordingly. In 1925, Jiangmen was designated as a provincial city.
