    The correct answer is China demanded gold and silver for payment of all trade deficits

    They needed gold and silver so that they could pay of their debts or keep trading with various countries, mostly the far east which had great things that Europeans wanted. They found out that the colonies in South America were abundant in these metals and wanted to plunder them completely and find mines where they could get as much gold as they wanted.
