What is the interest of Europeans in China?

The interest was economic. China, due to its vast territory and population, could serve as a sales market for European goods; in the 19th century, opium began to be sold there in order to pump out silver.

Chinese goods were also of interest to Europeans – porcelain, for example, tea, spices, silver and gold products.
