Great links, thanks.

HSBC

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hsbc

“The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation was founded by Scotsman Sir Thomas Sutherland in the then British colony of Hong Kong on 3 March 1865, and in Shanghai one month later, benefiting from the start of trading into China, including opium trading. In 1980, HSBC acquired a 51% shareholding in US-based Marine Midland Bank, which it extended to full ownership in 1987.”

The Second Opium War ended the Qing dynasty and the banksters then had their way with the place.

HSBC was an opium bank from day one.
