Since want to talk about history....CHINA IS SO DAMN
WEAK!!!
In 1842, the Qing authorities sued for peace, which concluded with
the Treaty of Nanjing negotiated in August of that year and
accepted in 1843. In the treaty, China agreed to open
several low-tariff trade ports to Britain, yielded Hong Kong to
Britain, and allowed British missionaries to work in
China.
In 1860, at the Convention of Peking, China ratified the Treaty of
Tientsin, ending the war, and granting a number of
privileges to British (and other Western) subjects within
China.
Chiang Kai-shek fled with the remnants of his government to Taiwan
in 1949 and his Nationalist Party would control the island as well
as a few neighboring islands until democratic elections in the late
1990s. Since then the political status of Taiwan has always been
under dispute. - SO WEAK! CHINA Cant even protect their own
land from a fleeing army of remnants!!
The treaty ending the war was signed on June 9, 1885, as China
acknowledged the Treaty of Hué and gave up its suzerainty over the
Empire of Annam. Annam and Tonkin were incorporated into French
Indochina soon thereafter. The French victory highlighted
the weakness of the Chinese government and aroused nationalistic
feelings in Southern China.
Faced with defeat, China signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki on 17
April 1895. This treaty agreed to the total independence of Korea
and ceded the Liaodong Peninsula in southern Fengtian Province,
Manchuria (present-day Liaoning Province, China), Taiwan and the
Pescadores Islands to Japan "in perpetuity". Additionally, China
was to pay Japan 200 million Kuping taels (which were about the
price of purchasing the German and British built modern
battleships) as reparation, signed a commercial treaty permitting
Japanese ships to operate on the Yangtze River, to operate
manufacturing factories in treaty ports and to open four more ports
to foreign trade. It symbolized the rise of Japanese imperialism.
The victory proved Japan to be on equal grounds with the western
powers and the dominant power in Asia. Its fast industrial and
political developments and economical expansions are often compared
to that of Germany, which was unified around the same time as the
political revolution in Japan during the 1860s, and which surged to
become the strongest nation in Europe. - WHAT A WEAKLING -
CHINA!
HELLOMOTO - there are more leh...u wanna know?
