China: History, Politics and Economy of this Great Country

China is a country of East Asia, almost the same as the United States, and has a history of great achievement. China is located in northern Mongolia, southern India, southern of Vietnam, and the area is about 9.5 million square kilometers (CIA - World Profile - China). In general, China borders with 13 countries, including Afghanistan, North Korea and the Russian Federation. China is considered the oldest civilization in the world. Records dating back to 3 500 years ago were collected.

Imagine that you lived in a country with the history of 4000 years at the top of the world, technically, economically and politically. If you live in that era, you will hear about the wonderful history of China, and like all the others, I will be proud of it. But in the past 200 years your country will lose the interests of almost everyone and will be humiliated and surrender by the great power of the world. The first is European imperialism in Central Asia, and the wonderful indicator is the notorious opium war. In 1839, the powerful British forces compelled China to accept opium sales to citizens (legal ban). Due to the inevitable poisoning of drugs, the Chinese almost eliminated themselves, influenced tradition, daily life and millions of morals. The UK expanded using the empire, but the Chinese emperor lost face because there is no power to rule the situation.

Chinese nationalism has hundreds of years history. In 1840, the first Opium war broke out in China, and the British invaded China by selling opium. For the Western countries such as the UK, Spain and France, after the first industrial revolution, the industry and economy developed rapidly, domestic demand could not meet the requirements of economic development, so many of these countries I thought that I would like to benefit the country. China has become one of the most important goals of Western aggressors. After the first opium war, China paid millions of dollars silver in the UK and France and ceded territory to the UK. In the next hundred years, Chinese people experienced a series of invasions from Western countries. China's nationalism was established with these disasters. As mentioned above, Starbucks can be regarded as a symbol of the United States of America.
