This dissertation is a study of the development of China's overseas trade during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. It argues that beginning in the 1670s, the formerly profitable trading links that connected China to Japan and Luzon were compromised by political changes in the three regions, and particularly by a civil war in China. The result was a turn towards Southeast Asia that began in 1674 when the Taiwan-based Zheng family, who then dominated maritime trade in East Asia, were forced to find alternative sources of goods to replace Chinese ones that had become inaccessible during the war. After the Qing empire's conquest of Taiwan in 1683, its government legalised maritime trade from Chinese ports, creating a surge in the volume of China's overseas trade. The markets of Japan and Luzon were not elastic enough to allow all of the new China-based merchants to participate profitably there, so they once again turned towards Southeast Asia. However, unlike the Zheng family in the 1670s, the goal of these new merchants was to find alternative markets to Japan and Luzon for their Chinese goods, and new imports for their home market. This trading network that emerged in the 1680s is examined in depth. Its structure developed as a 'hub-and-spoke' system; China-based merchants concentrated their activity in a few major commercial hubs that were already connected to many smaller centres by the spokes of sub-regional trading networks, and in some cases to the Indian Ocean as well. This gave the China-based merchants indirect access to a larger number of markets than would have been possible otherwise. The major impact of the expansion of Chinese trade in Southeast Asia was a re-orientation of the region's economies towards China, and away from other trading systems, including the Dutch Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie's commercial empire. This network in Southeast Asia was also easily the most important maritime link between China and the global economy until about 1720, when a combination of factors helped prompt the growth of direct trade between China, Europe, and South Asia.
