[@outisnemo555]

The Ming was not weak during the 16th century, it was simply docile, because the Emperors at the time (especially Jiajing) were not especially diligent rulers. They still had a very efficient bureaucracy that operated finely without the Emperor’s participation, the largest economy on the planet, and maintained a slight technological edge against other civilizations. The 1550 Mongol invasion, for example, did not “sack Beijing”, but instead sacked the rural outskirts of Beijing (Beijing itself was safely walled up, and the Emperor Jiajing, who knew the Mongols were sacking outside the city wall, did not even care to do anything about it). Later in 1592, Jiajing’s grandson Wanli was able to send large Chinese armies to Korea to assist in defending Korea against a Japanese invasion, and eventually drive the Japanese out of Korea in 1598. So, if the Portuguese or Spanish tried to pull a Cortes or Pizarro in China at the time, I think they would probably loose. I mean even a weak Ming dynasty was far more technologically and militarily capable than the Aztecs and Incas.

[@REDnBLACKnRED]

Not to mention a lot of the technological superiority of the west was based on previous Chinese inventions like gun powder and paper.

No problems with disease immunity, no internal turmoil, no technological lag (more of the other way around situation), no fear of horses or whatnot. Cortes's puny gang of what, 600? would be perished under the walls of the first fortress they'd met. Correct me if I'm wrong, but colonization of India was mostly restricted by the control of ports and playing off of internal conflicts up until late 18th century, and India was no China.

Han becoming Manchu isn't all that complicated if you consider both them as civic identities rather than ethnicities. In fact, some of the Manchu clans were formed by the descendants of Ming Colonists in Manchuria, so even before the founding of the Qing Empire, the later Jin forces were already communicating in old Mandarin. Before the modern idea of nationalism was introduced to China, "Han" was basically an amalgamation of different cultures under one banner. There were quite a few instances of Turkic, Tungustic, and Tibetic peoples who integrated into the cultures of the Sinitic core and became "Han". Also, I want to point out the Han population was not barred from Manchuria until late into Qianlong's rule (Around the 1780s). The Qing wanted to revitalize the Manchu language and culture, which was already functionally extinct at this point since most of the population had moved to the Sinitic core and were at that point Sinicised. Of course, this law was only perfunctory enforced. And there was no reason for anyone to migrate to Manchuria, unlike the depopulated Xinjiang post-Dzungaria war, because the latter was a gateway to the silk road trade and other strategic importances, while the former was a gate way to nowhere.

The tributary system of ancient China is very unique. It originally stemmed from the thought of Tianzi (天子; lit. 'Son of Heaven, or the only ruler as a heavenly being). Therefore, it helped each Chinese emperor to save his face as Tianzi. If some neighboring state dared not bring its tributary to the Chinese emperor, then the emperor would have assaulted such "a discourteous state", and overthrown it so as not to loose his dignity as a Tianzi. This was the very reason why Yangdi of Sui dynasty (煬帝) attacked Goguryeo no less than 4 times. Anyway, even though the tributary system itself had been merely ceremonious for each of them, any tributary states were expected to give its loyalty to Tienzi-that-be as its vassal state, or to serve as its subject nation, in case of the suzerain's emergency. In fact, Goryeo joined in the Mongol Invasion of Japan as troops in support. Such was the case with Joseon that could not choose but did battle with Japan at the Imjin War.

I dunno if it’s deliberate missed out but the tributary system is actually mutual beneficial, while the tributary states send their tributes to china, ambassadors of these nations were given generous gifts of quality imperial-made silk and porcelain from the emperor in return to be brought back to their country (hence the exchange of goods/gifts), along with whatever titular recognition such as the King of Melaka etc and also diplomatic protection to militarily weaker states such the Sultanate of Melaka against the militarily stronger and more aggressive Siamese neighbour. Its not just simply collecting tribute and doing nothing, for the Chinese emperor its a grave disgrace to not return gifts, and a greater loss of face if the gifts given in return were not of higher value than the tributes received, because the emperor doesn’t want his empire to be shown as petty or being outdo by its own tributaries in terms of gifts (demonstration of wealth)

Historical evaluation After the democratization of Taiwan, many surveys believe that Chiang Kai-shek's image in people's hearts has always been more negative than positive. However, nearly a third of Taiwanese had not experienced Chiang Kai-shek's rule. Their knowledge of Chiang Kai-shek comes from books and word of mouth from their elders. Perhaps because of the background of time and space at the time, everything Chiang Kai-shek did in Taiwan was what the Kuomintang once called a "necessary evil." Even Chiang Kai-shek, who passed away a long time ago, must face historical criticism and pay the price for everything that happened at the time. Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, located in the administrative center of Taipei City, has become the target of attacks by anti-KMT forces in every election. Now that the Democratic Progressive Party is in power again and is vigorously promoting transitional justice, Chiang Kai-shek's historical status has also been challenged again. The demolition of bronze statues and the removal of "Kong Jiang" is not uncommon. Perhaps Chiang Kai-shek never imagined that one day he would fall from a "great man" and become an unprecedented burden to the Kuomintang who had worked so hard during his life. The remaining memory of Taiwan is many scars that cannot be healed.

One thing on my mind I wanted to share is that the Uyghur have a unique facial structure that makes it very easy to gather them up. This is basically what I was told by a foreign exchange student a few years ago. Kinda sad the world just watches.

[@taoxiaodong]

In the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs lived in what is now the Mongolian grasslands, competing with the Turks, At that time, the Uyghurs were called Huihe by the Tang Dynasty, which means Uyghur. The Uyghurs were defeated in the competition with the Turks and were forced to migrate to the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. If you look up the territory of the Tang Dynasty on the Internet, you can easily find this place. The Western Regions are now Xinjiang, and the Western Regions were the territory of China as early as 100 BC. If you don't believe it, Looking at the map of the Han Dynasty in China, you can clearly see that the Western Regions were included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, you will find that in the territory map of the Han Dynasty, the Mongolian grasslands were inhabited by the Huns. At that time, there were no Turks or Uighurs. These two ethnic groups did not even exist at that time, at least not around China. Now, the question is, do you think it is reasonable for Uighurs, as immigrants, to come to China's territory since ancient times and demand independence? Uighurs account for only 40% of Xinjiang's population. Why can they make decisions for the other 60%? What is even more ridiculous is that Uighurs who advocate independence account for less than 1% of the total Uighur population. Why should they make decisions for all Uighurs?

@@taoxiaodong Oh, my sweet summer child, that sure is a lot of word soup to feel better about what's being done to them. There's no argument you can give to justify a ton of history of any aforementioned the parties. Failing to call evil what it is caused this piss-poor soap opera we call life to be so easy to criticize. On that note, I'm done with ye, you can take that right on down to the bank, I mean if your host country allows that.

因为中国是多民族国家,一个庞大的帝国

From what i'm seeing here, the colonization of China started with the Qing dynasty. it seems like the Qing was just trying to focus on holding power and benefiting from their own control of China. This is why the Qing dynasty was making so many mistakes, it wasn't out of stupidity, it was out of shortsightedness and insecure control. This probably wouldn't have happened if the Ming dynasty continued to hold power.

The ming were literally starving themself from progress in fear of literally every outsider literally anyone could have conquered them

Hope somebody recommend my videos to those who are interested in Chinese. I’m conscientious in creating funny way of teaching Chinese. I believe it can help those who want to learn Chinese. Chinese characters still retain their pictographic origins. Knowing what the characters look like originally can help understand the meanings and remember them. I’ve spent about 100,000 hours studying English humor and Western culture, and many years studying Chinese culture and jokes. My native language is Chinese.

Curious. Which of the Chinese languages, out of many, are you referring to?

A decent attempt at giving a summarized history of China, the middle kingdom.
