Two-hundred years ago Britain started selling the Chinese opium from British India – to balance London’s trade deficit of Chinese tea and silks. China didn’t like foreigners’ breaking their laws and causing widespread drug addiction. The destruction of 20,000 chests of opium in Guangzhou resulted, after British aggression, in Hong Kong becoming a crown colony.
