@pretextos They don't know about the Tiananamen Square massacre however
The chinese sailed to sell THEIR opium??
They sure did
yeah right
They used to have ship yards in Fur Chao and in Shanghai
Opium was banned in China as soon as the english started selling it to them
They had a totally alien design of ships
It's more complicated than that, the Far East started having a bad opium harvest and the English started dominating the opium trade
China was divided up back then, lots of different factions
Meanwhile the British dominated the seas
Hmm
Ming
They still cant measure shit
Yep the Ming Dynasy had all the major ports, Furchao Shanghai, Macao up until the Portuguese took it over
Lol
if boobs are round so must the earth
So the british wanted tea
British angry
British sell opium
China angry
China ban opium
The British dominated ALL TRADE, not just opium not just tea, they had control of the cotton and spices in the West Indies, the ivory in south Africa, the slaves from West Africa
People still used it
China ad
mad
China war
Opium wars
east india trading company

I told you, the Chinese over-produced opium and their soil got bad so they started importing it from Rangoon, Singapore and the Philipines
It was banned
Absolutely correct @!GPT
Opium was banned in china
Eventually it was yes
Before the wars
pirates were also hereos
