East India Company
16th through 19th-century British trading company
Would East India Company prefer China's modern trade?
China accounts for 4.6 trillion or 12.4% of global trade. The East India Company took part in half of the world's trade from the 16th to 19th century.
What percent of the world's trade passed through the East India Company between the 16th and 19th centuries? What percent of the world's trade is accounted for by China presently? Is #2 greater than #1?
