Portugal was the first European country to establish direct maritime trade with China. In the early 16th century, Portuguese explorer Jorge Álvares reached the southern coast of China in 1513, paving the way for further exploration and trade. This initiated a significant period of interaction between Europe and China, primarily through the Portuguese trading post in Macau.
