spencer asked:
In the years when Britain was colonising, why did the British trade with China end? It was a monopoly, and the end of trade led to huge losses for the Straits merchants - and thus they then get the British to intervene into the Malay states for new fields of investment and markets. But why did the Britain-China trade end?

Around 1900, China turned its back on all colonial powers, fearing western expansionism into the Chinese cultural way of life.
The term ‘the Boxer rebellion’ was coined.
