The European Colonialists tried to exploit China as much as they could. They coveted goods such as silk and tea, among other items. They had an interest in the poppy seed and its use to make opium products. The opium could have medicinal uses as heroin, for example. Chinese porcelain was also valued by Great Britain and other European countries.
