Imports to China and exports from China grew.
After the Opium Wars and the “unequal treaties” (e.g., Treaty of Nanking), China was forced to open ports and accept foreign trade. Western manufactured goods and opium flowed into China while foreign merchants gained easier access to Chinese tea, silk, porcelain and other exports — a trade boom that damaged China’s economy and domestic industries.
