However, the use of posters increased in this country during the British rule. Even at that time, the Chinese used to show the whole world glass art as a result of their fancy intellect and application. He also showed the British. China began to produce tons of opium. The whole world began to get addicted to it. The British troops were not left out either. Opium was smuggled into India.
