Additional Citations

This article needs both more citations and for citations already within the article to be more specifically attributed.

A particularly eggregious section is the Opium wars. Citations for some of the information discussed can be found in the Dennis article but this article could benefit from a diversification of sources.

Article Structure

The article appears to have been structured around an initial essay arguing for the importance of the silver trade during this time.

The relevance of the "First paper money" section to this article is questionable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4civil (talk • contribs) 18:01, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article Issues

I've been editing this article for a couple days now and I think I've taken care of all the "issues" posted at the top of the article. However, I don't want to prematurely remove the notice at the top, so it'd be great if someone could review it. Thanks, Lawrence Scafuri (talk) 19:00, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
