A Century of Humiliation 18391949: The Exploitation of China

English

By (author): Andrew Hyde

From 1839 to 1949, Imperial and Republican China was ruthlessly subjected to territorial, economic and political exploitation by Europe, Japan and the United States. This unrelenting series of shattering blows was to become known as the Century of Humiliation. These indignities were achieved through a combination of threats, intimidation and wars that yielded a series of Unequal Treaties. They granted territorial concessions, extraterritorial rights and other privileges which left China impotent, and millions outcasts in their own country. Thousands more were exploited in faraway lands, working as labourers on railways and plantations, and becoming collateral damage in foreign wars. Consequently, the country faced dissolution and civil war as it struggled to throw off foreign domination. Seared into the memories of generations of Chinas intellectual and political elites, these ordeals serve to explain Beijings contemporary political worldview. This has revealed itself in bullish revanchism towards Taiwan and other parts of AsiaPacific (APAC), border disputes with states as diverse as India, Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines, and wider global economic aspirations, stretching from Europe to Africa and beyond.
