c. chinese trade was dominated by foreign influence.
d. chinese trade was completely controlled by the qing dynasty.

Explanation:

Spheres of influence in China during the late - 19th and early - 20th centuries meant that foreign powers had significant economic and political control over certain regions. This led to foreign - dominated trade in those areas. Option A is incorrect as it was not just through Japanese ports. Option B is wrong because China did trade with foreigners during this time. Option D is incorrect since the Qing dynasty's control was undermined by foreign spheres of influence.

Answer:

C. Chinese trade was dominated by foreign influence.
