Why criticism of the Qing dynasty scares the Communist Party
It risks inflaming ethnic tensions and undermining territorial claims

China says it “liberated” Tibet from the feudal system. By that logic, couldn’t Imperial Japan have claimed it was “liberating” China as well? Would Chinese people accept that argument? If not, why should Tibetans be expected to accept the same reasoning?
These days, so many white people advocate for the CCP. This isn’t new. In the early years, Sidney Rittenberg and Israel Epstein also supported the CCP—but they ended up in the CCP’s prisons
One of the biggest claims made by some Chinese historians is that the Manchu Qing was a Chinese dynasty. Many Chinese at the time did not accept the Qing as a Chinese dynasty and viewed it as a foreign ruling power that had conquered China. Sun Yat-sen overthrew the Qing.
@OopsGuess You should list the periods when the Mongols ruled China, followed by the Manchus, and then the Japanese occupation. This shows that China has been conquered and divided at different points in its history, so it can be broken apart.
@AMFChina I think your work is important, but I’ve noticed that you rarely mention Tibet when talking about China . I hope you can include more content about Tibet as well.
@Naijadigitalnmd@FareedZakaria I’m not sure either, and he didn’t even bother to look at China’s new AI alliance or how many countries China has been able to win over!
It was the Japanese who built much of the infrastructure and many of the fine buildings in China. Even today, China cannot build buildings of the same quality as Japan. Shouldn’t the Chinese be thankful to the Japanese for building those roads and buildings?
