  10.  @mudra5114  You are ridiculously ignorant of historical facts. Obviously you haven't even understood the basics of that history. Let me give you the basics: before British started smuggling opium into China it was used rarely as a medicine, not as a recreational drug. Opium wasn't produced in China but brought in by Arabs in Central Asia where poppy was grown and opium was produced. Opium had been used as medicine in Central Asia and China for thousands of years. Because opium had not been a recreational drug problem in China so it was not considered illegal. England spent all its money on products from China, on things such as tea, chinaware and silk, but China wasn't buying anything from England, so the trade deficit had a toll on England's economy, its silver and gold reserve was almost depleted, due to had spent much of it on products made in China, very much like what is happening with USA today. So the British got the idea of selling opium as narcotic to the Chinese, first sold it cheaply or even gave out free to get the Chinese addicted to it, then increased the price as more addicts created a huge demand. Much like how today's heroin dealers do to get new customers. The Chinese government saw the big increase of opium addicts and money disappearing to the British opium cartels, so a national opium ban was on, but the British had no problem smuggling opium into China, in fact more than ever before. The Chinese government raid the British opium cartels in China and confiscated their opium which was destroyed. Those British opium cartels complained to their England government, got them to use warships to attacked China which they won due to China was a militarily weak nation. The Qing Empress at the time was a Buddhist lunatic, she believed Buddha would protect her and China, she didn't believe in guns and military power, she thought being peaceful would protect her and China from evils. She was wrong obviously. England invaded China in 1841, that was the First Opium War, which the British won easily. England forced the Chinese government gives back all the money it had earned from selling to England, plus much more. The Chinese government was forced to sign an agreement to no-restriction to British opium. Hong Kong was forced hand over to England so it could be used a port to freely ship opium into mainland China. England turned from being almost bankrupt to a very rich nation almost overnight by invading China and forced it to accept British opium. Now you know the truth.
