Visible Cities: Canton, Nagasaki, and Batavia and the Coming of the AmericansHarvard University Press, 31. mars 2008 - 147 sider The eighteenth century witnessed the rise of the China market and the changes that resulted in global consumption patterns, from opium smoking to tea drinking.

Batavia served as the connection site between the Indian Ocean and China seas for ships of the Dutch East India Company. |
