Explanation:

Excavation sites in the southern suburbs of Cairo have produced Chinese ceramics dating from the 10th to the 14th centuries. The Karim, an association of Jewish merchants who for hundreds of years financed trade between the Middle East and China, lubricated this extraordinary trade in porcelain and ceramics. The Karim had their own warehouses (fonduqs) stretching from Cairo to India and beyond. They built their own ships and sometimes leased them to others. They also operated as bankers, which proved to be their undoing. In 1398, the Karim made a massive loan to the Mamluk sultan, to finance an army to halt Tamburlaine’s march toward Cairo. When the loans were called, the Sultan came up short. Al Ashraf Barsbey nationalised the Nile-Red Sea canal to replenish his coffers, setting the prices at which goods brought through Egypt could be bought and sold. With a single stroke, the security for the Karim’s loans — trade through the canal – unravelled. The Karim were ruined within decades. When China withdrew from the world stage in the 1430’s, after Zheng He’s final voyage, Chinese goods came no more.
