Part 3: History Of Trade In China
This episode chronicles Chinese trade. In the 15th century, China destroyed its great fleets and began a period of nearly 300 years of isolation. It wasn't until 1760 that trade with Westerners officially was allowed. In the early part of the century, with the rise of communism, the Chinese began to regain control of its international economic relations. China opened up, slowly at first, in the 1950s. Today, China presents an open door to the world, while maintaining full control.Release
