Transcript PowerPoint Presentation - Open Door Policy means…

China’s Contacts with the Outside World
You learned about China’s contacts with
the outside world during the rules of three
dynasties: the Tang, the Yuan, and the
Ming.
With the recorded conversations you
heard about the benefits and drawbacks
of foreign contact during each dynasty
During the Tang, Yuan, and Ming Dynasties:
• What are some of the strongest arguments in favor of
China having foreign contacts? Against China having
foreign contacts?
• What do you think would be the negative effects of
China refusing all contacts with foreign countries?
• What do you think would be the negative effects of
China accepting all contacts with foreign countries?
“Open Door Policy” means…
To allow different ideas into your society’s culture:
religions, food and luxury items.
Your job for your independent project is
to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks
of foreign contact during each dynasty’s
rule.
In 200 years will China close its doors to the
outside world? State three reasons FOR or
AGAINST any policy to close its doors or keep
China open to foreign contact. Support your
reasons in five complete paragraphs.

Part One (18 points) Understanding
After hearing what “Welcoming and Rejecting Officials” had said
about China’s contact with foreign ideas and goods, make an
analysis about what happened socially, politically and economically to
China. Use your notes from Chapter 19, video clips and Internet
research. Evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of foreign contact
during each of the three dynasty’s rule.
Part Two: (22 points) Research
China has freely opened its doors to foreign trade and ideas for the
past 50+ years. There are many major problems that China is facing
with factories operating everywhere and polluting China. Here are
some ideas to think about:
ｨ
Agriculture losing to new factories being built
ｨ
Pollution in the air and waters
ｨ
China not being able to feed its people
Conclusion: State what you predict will happen to China. Will China
close its doors again to outside influences based on these new
discoveries? Or will China continue to trade with other countries no
matter what the consequences are?
