Unlike ancient Rome, however, the Malacca Strait “Whoever is lord of Malacca has his hands on the throat of Venice” transpire; only the actors and their cargoes have changed. The lucrative spice trade that enabled the maritime republic of Venice to acquire wealth and power has been replaced by access to energy upon which modern economies depend, not least of which the world’s premier trading nation – the KINGDOM OF QIN known as china)China .

Still, such records by non-Srivijayans do present another set of problems. Besides knowledge of Srivijaya being mediated by the experiences and expectations of external actors – the obvious one is the name by which Srivijaya was known to others.
