章節(jié)摘錄

插圖：Kangxi （1654-1722）, the best known emperor of theQing Dynasty （1644-1911）, restored the central empire'srule over Taiwan, and resisted invasions by tsarist Russia.To reinforce the administration of Tibet, he also formu-lated the rules and regulations on the confirmation ofthe Tibetan local leaders by the Central Government. Heeffectively administered more than 11 million sq km ofChinese territory. During the early 19th century, the QingDynasty declined rapidly. Britain smuggled large quanti-ties of opium into China, leading to the Qing governmentimposing a ban on the drug. To protect its opium trade, Britain launched a war ofaggression against China in 1840, forcing the Qing government to sign the Treatyof Nanjing, a treaty of national betrayal and humiliation. Many countries, includingBritain, the United States, France, Russia and Japan, coerced the Qing govern-ment to sign various unequal treaties, cede territory and pay reparations followingthe Opium Wars. China was gradually relegated to the status of a semi-colonial,semi-feudal country.The Revolution of 1911 led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen was one of the greatest eventsin modern Chinese history, as it overthrew the Qing Dynasty that had ruled forsome 270 years, ended over 2,000 years of feudal monarchy, and establishedthe Republic of China.From 1911 to 1949 China endured a large number of civil wars. Owing to thecooperation and joint resistance of the Communist Party of China （CPC） and theKuomintang, the Japanese aggressors were defeated in the War of Resistanceagainst Japanese Aggression （1937-1945）.The People's Republic of China was founded on October 1, 1949. Throughjust 60 years of struggle, explore and reform, as the party in power, the CPC hassucceeded in bringing about a stable political situation, with steady economicprosperity, providing ample food and clothing, and active diplomatic engage-ment, as the world's most populous developing country.
