India
Vietnam
China
Thailand
Answer
China played a significant role in Perry's endeavors to expand trade in Asia. Prior to Perry's arrival in Japan, China was Japan's primary trading partner. However, Perry's successful negotiations with the Japanese government led to the opening of Japanese ports to American trade, which resulted in a decline in trade between Japan and China.
