Portuguese traders also bring opium to China …
Years: 1819 - 1819
Portuguese traders also bring opium to China from the independent Malwa states of western India.
The British, however, are able by 1820 to restrict this trade by charging "pass duty" on the opium when it is forced to pass through Bombay to reach an entrepôt.
