    during the late 1700s, british merchants began makign huge profits by trading opium gorwn in india for chinese tea, which was popular in britain. soon, many chinese had become addicted to teh drug. silver flowed out of china in payment for the drug, disrupting the economy

    Not quite sure what you mean by this, but yes, pornography is also prevalent due to supply and demand. And brush up on your history - don't think for a second China didn't profit financially and politically from the Opium Regimes.
