2019-03-15 16:17:07 UTC  

They sure did

2019-03-15 16:17:11 UTC

2019-03-15 16:17:24 UTC  

They used to have ship yards in Fur Chao and in Shanghai

2019-03-15 16:17:49 UTC  

Opium was banned in China as soon as the english started selling it to them

2019-03-15 16:18:18 UTC  

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

2019-03-15 16:19:27 UTC  

China was divided up back then, lots of different factions

2019-03-15 16:19:43 UTC  

Meanwhile the British dominated the seas

2019-03-15 16:19:44 UTC  

Hmm

2019-03-15 16:22:07 UTC  

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

2019-03-15 16:22:13 UTC

I told you, the Chinese over-produced opium and their soil got bad so they started importing it from Rangoon, Singapore and the Philipines

2019-03-15 16:22:54 UTC  

100% spot on @!GPT

2019-03-15 16:23:02 UTC

Absolutely correct @!GPT

2019-03-15 16:23:06 UTC  

Opium was banned in china

2019-03-15 16:23:17 UTC
