CHINA AND THE OPIUM WARS

China and the Opium Wars

Why all this interest in China? Well, China,
among other things, is one of the largest
producers and users of opiates in the world.

For a while, in the 1800s, the Yankee Clippers in
Connecticut and Massachusetts were the fastest
ships on the ocean. Speed was crucial to the
opium trade; whoever made the trip from
Turkey/India to Macao/Hong Kong/Shanghai first
got the most for their goods.

During the Opium Wars, the U.S. chose to stand on
the sidelines and cheer for the English and
French, knowing that treaty obligations would
bring the U.S. a share in the spoils. Russell and
Company was at times the only trading house
operating in Canton and used the opportunity to
developed strong commercial ties and handsome
profits.

Powerful national interests were behind the drug
trade, because American traders were badly in
need of some article the Chinese would buy, since
by this time the seal breeding grounds had been
nearly wiped out. If the Chinese had not bought
opium from Americans, then United States imports
of silk, porcelain and tea would have to paid in
precious coin, which was in short supply. In
1843, when the Port of Shanghai was opened,
Russell and Co. was one of its earliest traders.

In 1903, Yale Divinity School set up a program of
schools and hospitals in China. Mao Zedong was
among the staff. During the intrigues of China in
the 1930s and '40s, American intelligence called
upon the resources of "Yale in China", and George
Bush's cousin and fellow "Bonesman" Reuben
Holden.

After stints as UN Ambassador and Chairman of the
Republican National Committee for the beleaguered
Richard Nixon, George Bush was sent to look after
the "China trade". The Bush family is still very
much involved in the economic activities of "Red"
China.

Many researchers contend that George Bush has
been with CIA since the early 1950s, and that one
of his jobs was to consolidate and co-ordinate
the worldwide narcotics industry, the largest
industry on Earth. Some say that one of the
reasons behind the Vietnam "Police Action" was a
cover for the consolidation of the "Golden
Triangle".
