Great Britain primarily sold opium to China during the 19th century, leading to widespread addiction and social issues within Chinese society. This trade was part of a larger economic exchange, as Britain sought to balance its trade deficit resulting from its imports of Chinese tea, silk, and porcelain. The opium trade ultimately contributed to the Opium Wars, which had significant consequences for China's sovereignty and its relationships with Western powers.
