By the time the middle ages were in full swing the silk road that had brought in the trade goods from China was gone. So, there was no trade between Europe and China in the middle ages. It was too far, took too long, and was too dangerous to make the trip. They got the silk from different kinds of animals.
Gold, silver, and natural resources were Europeans main goods shipped off to the orient. as well as weapons and ships, although these were usually restricted sales items you could sell with government permission only. Also early on due to a Chinese embargo on japan, Europeans developed a trade triangle between them, buying silk in china and selling it for silver in japan, which they went back to buy more silk from china. in this manner they became extremely rich as they were the only way japan could get their silk which was needed in their hot summers.
