Describe the interaction between the Ming Dynasty and the Portuguese between 1513 and 1537.
yaroslaw [1]

Portugal established trading activities in China in 1513 when Jorge Alvares arrived.

In 1517 the King sent a mission and created a trade center at Nei Lingding.

Portugal and Ming Dynasty relationship gradually expanded but was deteriorated when Simão de Andrade arrived at Guangzhou in 1519. He violated their customs and laws, so Chinese people reacted by killing several Portuguese in the streets.

In 1521 the Emperor Zhengde died and the Ming Court lost interest in having relations with foreign countries.

There were two battles:

In 1521, every Portuguese vessel was confiscated and Chinese defeated a Portuguese fleet at The First Battle of Tamao

In 1522, Martim Alfonso de Merlo Coutinho was sent to establish diplomatic relations but the Chinese defeated them at The Second Battle of Tamao.

The Chinese resisted any Portuguese attempt to return. But in 1535 Portuguese Port Traders were allowed to anchor ships in Macau´s harbors and they could trade. Finally, in 1537 the Portuguese establish a little Colony at Macau to be administered by Chinese authorities.

There is much criticism that modernization theory is Eurocentric. Do you think dependency theory is also biased? Why, or why not
vredina [299]

Answer:

Dependency theory has bias just as it is formulated within the context of underdevelopment, therefore it does have bias.

Explanation:

The dependency theory strongly criticizes foreign investments that move freely according to the international flow of capital. The model of dependency originates in the setting of Latin America and has failed to propose a way to counterbalance the dominant or prevailing system and make it functional.

For example, India's economy in the latest 15 years, seems to contradict some key beliefs of dependency theory as their claims concerning comparative advantage and mobility, as much as the economic growth that has originated from models like outsourcing. Outsourcing is a mobile form of transferring capital. Dependency theory would strongly oppose it.

The case of South Korea versus the North companion provides also an example of the economic performance of a trade-based economy against an autocratic self-sustained economy.

Therefore the protectionism initially preached by dependency theory did not turn the solution it promised. Rather, Latin American countries summed up huge debts and suffered periodic recession. The lack of conditions favorable to produce complex industrialized goods, as automobiles, computers, etc further ignites this failure. Not all goods will ever be able to be produced locally like the cars, computers, and technology so a turnig back is often leading to disaster or isolation from the world.
