Yes, the Spanish were able to trade with the Chinese, particularly during the 16th to 18th centuries when the Manila Galleons established a trade route between the Philippines and Mexico. This route facilitated the exchange of goods such as silver, silk, porcelain, and spices. The Spanish maintained a significant presence in Asia through the Philippines, which served as a crucial hub for trade with China. However, trade was regulated by the Chinese, and the Spanish had to navigate various diplomatic and logistical challenges to engage in commerce.
