I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The best definition for mercantilism would be that it is an economic policy in which countries collect gold or silver and control trade. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
The Chinese empire has been subject to unfair unilateral treatment for centuries. As foreign powers such as the Portuguese and the British sought to get their hands on this country's riches. This can be seen during the Opium Wars, which led to the colonization of the ports of Macao and Hong Kong, by the Portuguese and British respectively.

The answer is true. I hope I helped.
