  Old China Trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Old China Trade was the name given to the early commerce between China and the fledgling United States, spanning from the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1783 to the Treaty of Wanghsia in 1844.
Trade with China was by no means a new trend: since the voyage of Marco Polo and the days of the Silk Road, the Chinese had established a tradition of trade with the West.
However, China, while having firm relations with Europe, was not dominated by it as the ports of the Caribbean and Atlantic were; therefore, it was an opportune destination for American merchants to establish a new trading route.
