'' The latest figures I was able 440 OPENING THE SEALED GATES. to obtain in 1898 during my visit to China showed that these two powers had over seventy-two per cent, of the whole of the foreign trade with China in their hands ; all the other powers combined having only twenty-eight per cent, between them, of which Japan possesses the largest share. " It is perfectly true that, upon examining these figures, there . ':eems to be a great disproportion between the sixty-four per cent, of trade poss...essed by Great Britain and the eight per cent, pos- sessed by the United States. It must be remembered, however, that it was Great Britain who opened up, made possible, and devel- oped the foreign trade of the Chinese Empire. For many years Great Britain held an almost undisputed commercial position in that country. Subsequently, other European countries began to compete with her ; but the American nation, which is probably about the latest of these competitors, has already outdistanced all rivals, and ob- tained eight per cent, of the whole trade, as against the twenty- eight per cent of all other nations combined (including Japan).
