China Versus Britain: The Opium WarsIn the nineteenth century, the British East India Company was the world’s biggest drug smuggler. It was generating massive revenues by smuggling opium to China. It was also controlling the opium trade to Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The East India Company can be seen as the world’s first drug cartel. In 1839, Chinese Commissioner of Canton Lin Zexu wrote a letter to England’s Queen Victoria. He asked her why the British were pushing a poisonous substance like opium into China and he asked her to order her subjects to desist from opium smuggling. Here’s an excerpt from Lin Zexu’... read more
