Comments by Jared Israel In the 19th century, Britain invaded China to force the Chinese government to accept imported opium which was poisoning the Chinese population? (After Britain won a glorious victory in the Opium Wars, thus forcing China to enrich British merchants at the expense of the Chinese population's health, the US and France demanded and got from China the same right to import the poisonous stuff. Vast fortunes were built on this gangster trade.)
