The British economically exploited China primarily through the opium trade during the 19th century, where they imported opium from India to China, leading to widespread addiction and social disruption. This trade generated massive profits for British merchants while draining China's silver reserves. Furthermore, the resulting Opium Wars forced China into unequal treaties, granting Britain significant territorial and trade concessions, including control over Hong Kong and access to key ports, thereby undermining China's economic sovereignty. This exploitation contributed to long-term economic challenges and instability in China.
