True. *The Portuguese were the first to reach China (soon after 1500) by following the route of the Arab merchants from India to the southern ports. The early Portuguese traders, who were half-pirate, fortified their trading stations and treated the Chinese as if they were a conquered people. They made so much trouble that the Chinese government drove them out. Later, in 1557, they were allowed to lease a strip of the seacoast at Macao, which they were able to hold permanently * TheGraceAcademy.org
