| description | This article analyzes the dynamics of Iberian relations in East Asia during the 16th and 17th centuries, focusing on the central role played by Macau and Manila as strategic connecting hubs to the Chinese market. Starting from a historical contextualization that traces back to the trade routes established between the Philippine archipelago and China since the Song dynasty, the author examines how the arrival of the Portuguese and Spanish intensified and transformed these pre-existing mercantile networks.
The research highlights the Spanish strategy of using silver from the Americas to access the lucrative Chinese silk and porcelain production, positioning China as the main global pole of absorption of white metal. At the same time, the text discusses the consolidation of Macau as a vital entrepôt for Luso-Indian trade and the impact of Dutch threats on the stability of the Lisbon-Goa-Macau route. Through an analysis based on documentary and historiographical sources, the study demonstrates how the Macau-Manila route was configured as a space of competition and economic pragmatism, integrating East Asia into the flows of the first globalization. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of interdependence between the two empires and the prominence of local merchants in maintaining European presence in the face of the economic hegemony of the Ming empire. |
