The Byzantine Empire dispatched industrial spies to China to acquire silk production technology.

The Byzantine Empire sent two Nestorian monks to acquire the silk production techniques from China. These monks observed the silk manufacturing process and smuggled silkworms hidden in bamboo canes back to the Byzantine Empire. This allowed the Byzantines to produce silk domestically, greatly benefiting their economy. This event eventually led to the spread of the silk industry to various regions in Europe, including Italy and France.
