1833, the British government cancelled its trade monopoly on China. The East India Company had to go bankrupt.
The bankruptcy of the East India Company was not accidental for three reasons:
1. Corruption and smuggling among employees of the company have become a common practice, which has drastically reduced the company's total income.
2. Because the company blackmailed the Indian people, the Indian people constantly revolted. And the company needs a lot of money to suppress the uprising. This forms a vicious circle, which keeps the company in crisis.
3. The East India Company is the representative of commercial monopoly capital. Industrial capital has developed rapidly in Britain, and commercial capital has gradually lost its former position. This is also the main reason for the company's bankruptcy.
