The Opium Wars
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the causes and results of the two Opium Wars (1839-1842 and 1856-1858) between China and Britain. In 300 years of trade with China, Britain had developed a thirst for China's tea as well as appetites for Chinese silk and porcelain, but pre-industrial China found very little to desire from Britain's offerings. To ease the resulting tremendous trade deficit, Britain began growing opium in its colony India and insisted that China allow it to enter their country for use by their people. China declined the affront to their national sovereignty, lost Hong Kong to Britain, and later lost all right to restrict the opium trade within their borders. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Guangdong International Trust & Investment Corporation (GITIC) was forced by the government to go bankrupt when it was not destitute, but the government was alarmed over what it perceived to be the same types of patterns that preceded the currency and banking crisis in Japan and determined to force the GITIC to cease making what it believed were loans of questionable value. China remains an official 'big emerging market,' but it is yet unclear just what form of government and economic structure will grow from the current chaos. Bibliography lists 23 sources.
