The Trade Issue
Prior to the 1800s, Chinese rulers placed strict limits on foreign
traders.
China enjoyed a trade surplus, exporting more than it imported.
Westerners had a trade deficit with China, buying more from the
Chinese than they sold to them.
In 1842, Britain made China accept the Treaty of Nanjing, the first
in a series of “unequal treaties” that forced China to make
concessions to western powers.
China paid a huge indemnity to Britain.
The British gained the island of Hong Kong.
China had to open five ports to foreign trade and grant British
citizens in China extraterritoriality.

Irrigation systems and canals were poorly maintained,
leading to massive flooding of the Huang He valley.
The population explosion that had begun a century
earlier created a terrible hardship for China’s peasants.
An extravagant court, tax evasion by the rich, and
widespread official corruption added to the peasants’
burden.
The civil service system was rocked by bribery scandals.
Between 1850 and 1864, peasants took part in the
Taiping Rebellion, the most devastating revolt in history.

Reform Efforts
In the 1860s, reformers launched the “self-strengthening
movement” in an effort to westernize and modernize China.
The movement made limited progress because the
government did not rally behind it.
After China was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War,
Emperor Guang Xu launched the Hundred Days of Reform.
Conservatives soon rallied against the reform effort and the
emperor was imprisoned.

Fall of the Qing Dynasty
As the century ended, anger grew against foreigners in China.
In the Boxer Rebellion, angry Chinese attacked foreigners across China. In
response, western powers and Japan crushed the Boxers.
Defeat at the hands of foreigners led China to embark on a rush of reforms.
Chinese nationalists called for a constitutional monarchy or a republic.
When Empress Ci Xi died in 1908, China slipped into chaos.
In 1911, the Qing dynasty was toppled.
Sun Yixian was named president of the new Chinese republic. Sun wanted to
rebuild China on “Three Principles of the People”: nationalism, democracy, and
economic security for all Chinese.
