https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empresa_d ... %C3%A92002Once the country was subjected to Spanish control, they would proceed to its Christianization, founding encomiendas and nobiliary properties, and building Christian infrastructure like hospitals, universities and monasteries, helped by a plan of mestizaje that would promote interracial marriage between Iberian conquistadors and Chinese women.
It's interesting that this strategy is at play in Republic of Korea as well as Phillipines by the US empire. Incidentally the quote is from a Spanish book La empresa de China : de la armada invencible al galeón de Manila by Manuel Olle but I cannot find an english copy of the book.
