1571年马尼拉建城使得定期的跨太平洋贸易成为可能,从而构筑起全球贸易网络中缺失的一环。美洲之于中国和日本的吸引力迅速上升到了一个新的高度。在接下来的两个世纪里,在商业联系之外,这种吸引力促进了其他跨太平洋的全球性交换。成千上万的人跨洋而来,从而在美洲形成了最早的流散亚洲人群体,墨西哥也随之成为欧洲了解亚洲信息的交通站。传教士之间的联系可以说最为紧密,因为美洲的传教士对于东亚可谓望眼欲穿,时刻梦想着前往那里传教,体验其令人向往的风险。这些交换及随之而来的开阔视野,显示出了与现代全球化极大的相似性,使用这一概念并不为过。
The construction of Manila in 1571 enabled regular trans-Pacific trade to be made possible, thus establishing a missing link in the global trade network. America’s appeal to China and Japan quickly rose to a new height. Over the next two centuries, this attraction has facilitated other trans-Pacific global exchanges beyond business contacts. Thousands of people have crossed the oceans, forming the earliest Asian diaspora in the Americas. Mexico has also become the European transport hub for information about Asia. The links between missionaries can be said to be the closest, because missionaries in the Americas can be described as desperate for East Asia, always dreaming of going there to preach and experience the long-desired risks. These exchanges and the broadening horizons that ensue show a great deal of similarity with modern globalization, and it is not an exaggeration to use this concept.
