    Abstract This paper discusses the specificity of the initial impact of the British Industrial Revolution on China´s economy. This approach is important to a better understanding of the nature of the beginnings of capitalism in that country, a process which was both intentionally and unintentionally influenced by the contacts between UK and China. These early conditions contributed towards defining the subsequent course of the Chinese economy, leading to a low-growth trap experienced between about 1870 and 1950.

    Resumo Este artigo discute a especificidade do impacto inicial da Revolução Industrial britânica sobre a China. Essa especificidade é importante para entender a natureza do desenvolvimento capitalista inicial naquela região, moldado por processos não-intencionais e intencionais desencadeados pelos contatos entre o Reino Unido e a China. Essas condições iniciais contribuem para uma trajetória seguida posteriormente pela economia chinesa. Nesse sentido, este artigo investiga as origens de uma armadilha específica enfrentada pela China - uma trajetória de baixo crescimento entre a segunda metade do século XIX e 1950.
