| Refs: | The kokugos are all very specific that our sense 01 refers to historical China ("中国で、…").
e.g. kanjipedia: 昔、中国で外国と取り引きをするときの仲介業者。
The word "comprador" is also still used in English with the same meaning as our second sense.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprador
>> With the emergence or the re-emergence of globalization, the term "comprador" has reentered the lexicon to denote trading groups and classes in the developing world in subordinate but mutually-advantageous relationships with metropolitan capital.
The JEs only have one sense. |

| Comments: | I'm not sure that we need two senses here. If we do, then sense 01 might need a [hist] tag. |
