a threat because many Chinese insist that they were chines they were called the mestizos and
mestizos. There is also a massacre happen many Chinese died. Then i think the Spain needs

Chinese friendship. Spaniards want an economic gain and this was the reason why they wanted
to have Chinese good relations.
