This chapter focuses on the networks by which Muslim traders brought opium to China across the northwest border. It shows that before 1839, the Qing drug problem was not solely or even mainly a coastal issue involving the British. The chapter also notes that without energetic Chinese mercantile involvement, the opium trade could never have penetrated the Chinese economy to the extent it did.
Keywords: Muslim traders, opium, China, Qing drug problem, 1839, British, Chinese mercantile, opium trade, Chinese economy
