SABOYA (Salvador). OS PORTUGUESES na China. Lisboa. 1938. - SABOYA (Salvador) OS PORTUGUESES na China . Lisboa: Editorial Labor, 1938. 148 pp.: il.; 200 mm. A synthesis of the Portuguese presence in China, from the arrival of the first Portuguese on the Chinese coast to the consolidation of Macau's position. The work traces the founding episodes of the Luso-Chinese relationship, from the first contacts and the challenges posed by local authorities to the strategic importance of Macau in Portuguese expansion in Asia, focusing on the figure of Leonel de Sousa, who in 1554 negotiated the first Luso-Chinese agreement, allowing the legalization, through the payment of taxes, of Portuguese commercial activities in China. Interesting and highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
