Answer 1

The trade betweenTrade between Mesopotamia and Egypt.Ancient Egypt was a very popular place for trading in their time. The Egyptians traded gold, papyrus, linen, grain, and sometimes they would sell artifacts stolen from a pharaohs tomb. They would normally trade these items for cedar wood, ebony, ivory, lapis lazuli, incense, myrrh, iron, and copper.

Trade between Egypt and Nubia.From Aswan, right above the First Cataract, the southern limit of Egyptian control at the time, Egyptians imported gold, incense, ebony, copper, ivory, and exotic animals from tropical Africa through Nubia. As trade between Egypt and Nubia increased, so did wealth and stability.

Trade between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley.The first long-distance trade occurred between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley in Pakistan around 3000 BC, historians believe. Long-distance trade in these early times was limited almost exclusively to luxury goods like spices, textiles and precious metals.

Historical background, current economic and development status, and trade progress for China and the ASEAN countries are reviewed. China's main strategies for establishing trade connections or ties with ASEAN countries are analyzed. Finally, variables are proposed that will foster the emergence of further trade development in an effort to convert the region's atmosphere of "China threat" to "China opportunity."
