China.

The Virginia Company was a joint-stock company used to run the colonization of North America by the British. They attempted to find a route to the Pacific because of China; the large Western European countries at that time were relatively disconnected from China in terms of trade, focusing mostly on India for trading purposes. The British wanted to reach China in order to tap into its large industries.
