Abstract

The Chinese have a long maritime history, well-documented since the Shang dynasty (1600–1046 BCE).1 Although the export of Chinese products has occasionally been disrupted by the Closed Door policies imposed by different Chinese regimes over the past millennium, Chinese ports often played key roles in the international trade networks maintained by the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and later English in the early modern period.2 After the First Opium War (1839–42), however, the Chinese door was forced open again under pressure from Western imperial powers. Ironically, the Chinese coast was forced to close again by a general embargo imposed by the United Nations (UN) after the newly established People’s Republic of China (PRC) entered the Korean War (1950–53) and fought against the United States and its allies (endorsed and supported by the UN).
