The Spanish and China were both contratsting and similar, they had negative and points, both socially and econmically.Whereas Spanish conflicted on the taxes and the trade being paid in silver, also that China would trade it, but China would not work for it, they simply recieved it, but not work like Spanish. Socially, Spanish would get along with China, but not econmically, due to the iniquity of China. In Doc 6, Spanish would work for it, and even if they didn't exit mines, with silver, they still had a exhaustindg journey, and Doc 7 , Chinese merchants traded, they didn't have to serach mines all they had to do was trade. Therefore, Spanish would deserve all profits. Plus, Chinese wouln't trade right "100 bars of siver, for silky yarn, where Philipines sold at a price of 200 to 300 bars"(Doc 7). Economically, they were getting good silver just bad trade merchants. Authors,opinion might have been that they were taking credit for work, that wasn't theirs.

In Doc 2, The high prices were accumulating and ruined Spain, and evidently this attracted Chinese to take advantage. Though, in Doc 3, chinese say that grain is cheap, and should benefit, Spanish, b/c of the siver money,it benefit's them and does to affect them, in the opinion of author. Doc 2, explains that though it ruined Spain it can to benefit it, silver coins, had positive and negative effects.

In Doc 1, the chinese official is right, it explains that like Spain was like that of a [frugal man with one bar of silvers, it can too have something left, unlike a chinese [wealthy man with too much silver ]. d4. Portuguese, traveled around the China, and Japan and it obtained more than 600,000 coins of siver, and they used and took great advantage for, they brought more luxuries to trade. The uthor opinion was that even a poor man with less than what a wealhty man has, just like China it would never be satisfied since it wants more, and isn't satisfied with or what will ever obatin. Though Doc 5, It changed the rountine and rules for the Spain, the silver coin currency, affected it tremendously, it guranteed nothing. Doc 8, it Europe it was opposite it sold luxury goods to Asia, like silver and gold, and forever it stays there and doesn't comeback.
