Guns, Slaves and Drugs
The Complete Malcolm X: malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com The Opium Wars were the climax of disputes over trade and diplomatic relations between China under the Qing Dynasty and the British Empire. After the inauguration of the Canton System in 1756, which restricted trade to one port and did not allow foreign entrance to China, the British East India Company faced a trade imbalance in favor of China and invested heavily in opium production to redress the balance. British and United States merchants brought opium from the British East India Company's factories in Patna and Benares, in the Indian state of Bengal, to the coast of China, where they sold it to Chinese smugglers who distributed the drug in defiance of Chinese laws. Aware both of the drain of silver and the growing numbers of addicts, the Dao Guang Emperor demanded action. Officials at the court who advocated legalization of the trade in order to tax it were defeated by those who advocated suppression. In 1838, the Emperor sent Lin Zexu to Guangzhou where he quickly arrested Chinese opium dealers and summarily demanded that foreign firms turn over their stocks. When they refused, Lin stopped trade altogether and placed the foreign residents under virtual siege, eventually forcing the merchants to surrender their opium to be destroyed. In response, the British government sent expeditionary forces from India which ravaged the Chinese coast and dictated the terms of settlement. The Treaty of Nanking not only opened the <b>...</b>

Shanghai - China
Shanghai - China
Shanghai is a metropolis in eastern China and a direct-controlled municipality of the People's Republic of China. Located at the middle part of the coast of mainland China, it sits at the mouth of the Yangtze. Originally a fishing and textiles town, Shanghai grew to importance in the 19th century due to its favorable port location and as one of the cities opened to foreign trade by the 1842 Treaty of Nanking. The city flourished as a center of commerce between east and west, and became a multinational hub of finance and business by the 1930s. After 1990, the economic reforms introduced by Deng Xiaoping resulted in intense re-development and financing in Shanghai, and in 2005 Shanghai became the world's largest cargo port. The city is a tourist destination renowned for its historical landmarks such as the Bund and City God Temple, and its modern and ever-expanding Pudong skyline including the Oriental Pearl Tower. Today, Shanghai is the largest center of commerce and finance in mainland China, and has been described as the "showpiece" of the world's fastest-growing major economy. ( source Wikipedia )

[Naxos 2.110552] CHINESE MUSICAL JOURNEY (A) - SHANGHAI
[Naxos 2.110552] CHINESE MUSICAL JOURNEY (A) - SHANGHAI
Naxos DVD Trailer: A Cultural Tour with Traditional Chinese Music The city of Shanghai, China's most important port, owes some of its prosperity to the so-called unequal treatises forced on China during the 19th century. The place had its origin as a settlement during the Tang dynasty (618-906 AD), but the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 ceded Hong Kong to the British and made possible the development of foreign trade through the five 'treaty ports', of which Shanghai became the most important. The growth of Shanghai into an international trading centre and the concessions made to various foreign countries explain the interesting mixture of architectural styles, continued today with the high-rise buildings of recent years. The music chosen for this tour of Shanghai is played on traditional Chinese instruments. Performing the music are the wind and string ensembles known as 'silk and bamboo', from their silk strings and bamboo pipes, and ensembles that also include percussion. Instruments given prominence include the dizi, heard first in Moonlight Autumn Night by the Lake, a transverse bamboo flute, and the yangqin, a Chinese dulcimer whose strings are struck with two bamboo sticks. Traditional Chinese music, like Chinese painting, is largely representational, its character indicated in its titles, although these may sometimes be drawn from opera or from poems.

HONG KONG THROUGH POSTCARDS
HONG KONG THROUGH POSTCARDS
1983 Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org Hong Kong is situated on the eastern banks of the Pearl River Delta on the southeastern coast of the People's Republic of China, facing the South China Sea in the south and bordering Guangdong Province in the north. Hong Kong was a British colony from 1842 until the People's Republic of China resumed the exercise of sovereignty in 1997. It is governed as a special administrative region under the Basic Law of Hong Kong, the territory's constitution. The area now known as Hong Kong became an important trading region and a significant strategic location for the Chinese mainland during the Tang and Song dynasties. These populated townships or villages had never been collectively known as Hong Kong before the British administration. The area began to attract the attention of China and the rest of the world again in the 19th century, when it was ceded to Britain after the Opium Wars. Hong Kong's earliest recorded non-Asian visitor was the Portuguese mariner Jorge Álvares who arrived in 1513. Álvares began trading with the Chinese, and the Portuguese continued to make periodic trade stops at various locations along the coast. Tea, silk, and other Asian luxury goods were introduced in Europe by the Portuguese, and by the mid-18th century these items were in high demand, particularly tea. The British, to redress their net outflow of payments to China for tea and to force China to conduct relations like other states, invaded China, winning the First <b>...</b>

Kerala, Pakistan, and Hong Kong in early July
The first half of July saw civilisational rise, change, and transition. Sankalp Sharma narrates the story of the state of Kerala, Pakistan, and Hong Kong in Hindi using pictures. Rise On July 1, 1949, two rich princely states of India, Cochin and Travancore, merged together and formed Thiru-Kochi. This marked the beginning of the formation of a new state called Kerala. It is the wealth of the Travancore state that has recently been discovered in the Sixteenth Century Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, which is now the wealthiest place of worship in the world. Travancore's King Marthanda Varma's army defeated the Dutch and ended the Dutch presence in India - one of the examples of Indian power showing its supremacy over European technology of war. On November 1, 1956, modern Kerala emerged. Change On July 5, 1977 in Pakistan, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was removed from office and Army Chief General Zia-ul-Haq took the reins of power through an operation named Operation Fair Play. It would not be the first time that democracy would leave Pakistan. Transition July 1, 1997 saw history's smoothest transition of sovereignty when Hong Kong was handed over to China. The literal meaning of Hong Kong is "fragrant harbour", called so because it is situated opposite the delta of the Pearl River - known for its fresh and fragrant water, which turned red and intoxicated when the British took over Hong Kong after the first Opium War against China.
