2. India did have thriving cottage industries such as in cotton which were, however, destroyed by the British Raj. Before the Opium Wars, China did have thriving commerce in Hong Kong, which then migrated to Shanghai (when Hong Kong was ceded to Britain) – as a result, Shanghai grew and developed to be the commercial and industrial center of China, until foreign invasions/occupations, wars and then civil war interrupted its growth and development.
