Britain was China's major trading partner in the period between 1861 and 1913. During the whole of the period in question, China's import and export trade with Britain was controlled and handled almost entirely by British merchants. Yet the distribution of British goods imported into China was gradually taken over by the Chinese from the British. On the other hand, British merchants' attempts to control production and processing of export staples in China were generally unsuccessful. In other words, British traders did not manipulate prices at the expense of their Chinese counterparts as generally asserted. As a result, their general profitability situation in Anglo-Chinese trade was not very favourable. Instead of profits, they often made losses
