Commercial balance is a merciless tool.
The truth is that the colonies were importing far more from France, and with gibsmedat sent from France.
It was effectively a net loss at each stage.

It makes zero sense to count french exports to their colonies as france LOSING money. That's the main point of imperialism, is to find a new market for your exports. Do you think the brits blasted their way into hong kong and then realized
>OH SHIT GUYS we're exporting WAY more opium than we're recieving tea
No fucking of course not. This is elementary school level deceptive accounting designed to fool people who don't know anything about economics except what they see on their Mises memes facebook group.

Africa had all that shit for millions of years and did nothing with it. Europe takes it and creates modern medicine, spaceflight and iPads.
Further proof Europe should recolonize Africa.

business idea: restore the British empire

I remember in Uni basically all the wealth was being funnelled into China, the Euro's colonised America and took all their gold and silver and then it all funnelled slowly into China. Then the British started selling Opium for silver only then Europe basically fucked China's shit up and now we all use paper

You were still poorer than us for the majority of your history, regardless of your empire. It was the industrialization that made you richer than us for a while. So it's not even a good business idea.
Restoring the Dutch empire is much more profitable.
