Answer 1

"The British Empire bought tea from China. In exchange, it sold China opium and cotton the empire had taken from India."

Brief explanation: Britain used opium grown in India (and some Indian cotton/raw materials) as goods to sell to China, which provided tea that Britain imported — a three-way trade that helped pay for British tea and led to the opium trade/conflicts with China.
