China was colonised by the Liao, Western Xia, Jin, Yuan, and Qing dynasties.

The Real Reason: After 1911 KMT After 1927 CCP

also the opuim war didn't start because china want to ban opium import, it only want to ban british doing it, all the other trader can sell opium, which the british traders think it is unfair trade practice, and the britihs standing for it own person has lodge formal complaint and plead for fair trader the same condition as all other nations, but they were ignored and due to many more reasons, then the british start a military action against china, only when british soldiers are at the palace door, the chinese finalise agreed. The opuim trade issue are solved many years after, ,when the chinese could domestically grow their own opuim. Since the local market could get supplied from local grown opium they no longer need to buy from the british. and since the british traders couldn't sell opium, they don't sell many of opium and change their products to others good. Opium was nenver banned or illegal in the chinese empire, because back then a good money for the govement is from opium related business, chinse gov only banned their ofifical and solider from the consumption of opium, not the common people nor traveller, There is indeed a large tourism business in china when opium addict go to china to smoke opium as it was becoming illegal in many westner countries. the 8 countries alliance aim was not to colonise (except for the Portugal and russian), The rest of the nation sent their army in to protect their nationals frm the massacre against foreigner which is happening within china but the chinese gov decide not to act and protect these foreigners in many places as many places were actually fell out of the control of the imperial army. and unlike african, there were a long term and diplomatic relation between these countries and china. european would never colonise a land if the locals coul handle the management and they would happily keep trading. from the european pont of view, it is unfavourable to take lands, because of the cost associated with it, thus, if they could help their local gov, they would just choose a path that profit from it. This is a behaviour grown due to the impossibility to conquer each other in europe, thus they are happily give up their colonies when these colonies are no longer making profit for them, and obviously running colonies in china is very costly and given the constant discrimination againt foreigner in china, it is very much unfavourable to manage colonise in lrage scale in china.

这就是义和团运动的意义

French speaking Mexico would have been awesome.

Cus we are gangsta. The most competent group of people in the world

Because the great powers needed benefits. China was under the Qing government at that time. The Qing government kept the Han people ignorant to maintain its rule, which made the Qing Dynasty backward. The colonists were afraid that the Qing Dynasty would be overthrown and China would modernize rapidly. At this time, maintaining the rule of the Qing Dynasty and grabbing benefits from the Qing government was the best choice. China was really big. Even if the great powers fought against the Qing Dynasty, you would know that the scale of the war was very small if you looked at the number of people in the war. But such an insignificant war could force the Qing government to give up benefits. At that time, a large number of ignorant Chinese in other regions did not even know what was happening.The Qing government was afraid of being overthrown, so when facing Western invaders they just offered benefits. The Qing government would not really use all its national strength to resist, because this corrupt government just wanted to continue to exist. But civil war was different, it would really cost the Qing government its life, so you know why the casualties in the civil war were so serious. In the late Qing Dynasty,after Taiping Rebellion, the Qing government's army was actually insignificant, and local officials had a large number of armies. If the great powers chose to overthrow the Qing government, new separatist regimes would immediately emerge in other parts of China after receiving the news, and the great powers would also fall into a real civil war in China. The ownership of interests between the great powers was also a big problem

殖民不是目的，只是为了利益，把清朝当提款机而已没必要亲力而为

Why the hell would mongolia, turkestan be under the US?

also the usa was kind of cynical with china because they were more interested in using European ports to trade opium and goods without all the messy stuff involved.

well the europeans and later the americans just grabbed all the best chunks of china and left the poor less useful area to the chinese. the exception being Japan who were rsther more interested in taking over large chunks of china. the japanese actually invaded china in the 1890s and had already started to annex parts of Manchuria. before completely annexing it altogether in the 1930s.

Because 1. Disease is irrelevant compared to the americas 2. Chinese continued to use large quantity of archers and guns that was comparible to the fighting capibilities of 18th century european armies considering that bows had a significant fire rate. By the 19th century when reliable rifles were adopted , the europeans were more interested in profiting from china than colonize 3. Size and population

China has been not colonised so far because Donald Trump is not there yet. China is going to be colonised anytime soon - from January 2025 to January 2028 - when Donald Trump assumes office again. DT will be extremely busy launching special military operations for Canada, Greenland, Mexico, and Panama in 2025, and he will commence such operation for China in 2026!

2:49 you used the wrong flag and the Republic of China took the whole territories back including Taiwan Province, it's not the People's Republic of China

They are, from Mongols and Manchus.

Sinking。Singing。 F*cking。Funding。

They all lacked the support of James Bissonnette

Actually it was the Europeans did colonize China but didn’t succeed, just like India.

Classic blunder. “Never get involved in a land war in Asia.”

because the chinese kicked them out.

China was full colonized by Mongols and Manchus for their native lands. Only 2 foreign state. The Manchu tribes are established of Qing Dynasty. Not Chinese

You forgot to mention the exact dates when all this happend.

China resisted colonization.

Do the Chinese even know about Sino French war?

US forgot to handover Taiwan to china which they took from japan

china was never colonised. only a very small portion of china (hong kong and macau and some costal cities were occupied by the colonial powers at the time. over 90 percent of china was still in chinese hand.

Seeing how poorly independent countries have fared since the end of colonialism, in a few decades, many countries will by vying for a return to colonial status.

Qing was not a competitive government, but it's still a government.

When the Westerns were colonizing China, bringing democracy and freedom to China, a bunch of people deceived Chinese people, who were mostly uneducated and illiterate. The conclusion is those ambitioners have misled Chinese people, and made them believe all the problems were caused by foreigners and the previous government, instead of a lack of a clean social system without corruption, and a friendly attitude to other countries. And they started establishing their government, using nationalism and populism as their excuses for their dictatorship. The group is called China Communist Party, the ambitioner is called Mao, who had killed at least 15 million Chinese in three years starving, from 1960 to 1962, and he is the one who started culture revolution, a full-scale prosecution equally targeting everyone who spoke against Mao.

never

An people ask why people does what it does lmao, China evil xDD

Wasn’t yuan dynasty colonized the Chinese

And Taiwan!😮

You forgot First East Turkestan Republic founded in 1932, dissolved in 1934. Also in second republic era, they executed all the uyghur intellectuals, statesmen. Communists mass murdered Uyghurs. Free East Turkestan, Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, Tibet.

You study this history wrong. Ask around, how many times has china be conquered and fully colonized? During the Western colonial era in China and Korea, the emperor, empress are western puppets who latter abdicated the throne for civilian government, yet the monarchies in Europe remained fully intact. We must never forget the true horror of slavery history from the west so as not to allow a repeat again. This is one of the reasons I'm not against North Korea's Nuclear weapons. You may have poor military setup and strategies, but your nuclear arsenal stands tall as a deterrence and remembrance.

Because colonization is expensive, even Britain regretted colonizing India.

No power could swallow it up, so they remained a fragile balance that kept the Qing regime around😊

Because it would be costly to maintain the high population of the Chinese.

what about the Sino-Nepalese war?

I knew all this, except for one crucial detail about the Curzon line: That the British introduced it as compromise with the then winning Soviets.

Portuguese Macao 🇲🇴 🤝🇵🇹

China is way too big and populated, trying to conquering it without technological superiority can be a nightmare worse than invading russia

Thank God he didn't do it. Or else i wouldn't have arguments to say that Poland can be considered western or central european

You know, if Stalin annexed Poland after the WW2, the USSR would collapse in 1956 instead of 1991

大人，时代变了。 现在是我们喊:开门，自由贸易! 了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

你们列强各国都想拥有在华利益，一个国家在中国的利益大于其余七国那些国家就会抵制那个在华利益最大的利益国，从而保持了一种奇怪的平衡

There is still one last handover yet to occur. They are still clinging on to the mainland to this day

not colonizing china is the biggest mistake in human history

China is hardly unified back then Also the regular army of each dynasties can reach up to hundreds thousand, while biggest army can reach up to several millions people strength One single chinese civil war can reach up to 80 millions casualties, others up to 10-30 millions death toll In rome era... imagine that China is what if europe as one single kingdom, but everything is 10x the scaling, europe still nothing even with their flick guns and cannons, but europe hv the best naval strength tho

even today, American gain huge profit from china，those factory belong to American，
