Why do you say that a China leaf changed the history of the world?
Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. Tea was first produced in China and then spread to Europe. The British people spent a lot of money on this magical leaf, resulting in a serious trade surplus between China and Britain. Because China uses the silver standard, a large amount of silver flows into China from Britain every year. British silver was bought from the European continent with gold, which led to a shortage of gold in Britain and serious inflation in Britain. I had to wage war against China and export opium to China to save the trade deficit. When I unloaded China's poverty and weakness in modern times, I gave the world hegemony to the United States for nothing. Please accept it if you are satisfied, and I will appreciate every compliment.
