Honest to God A+ job on speaking out your ass. You brought up Britain I say what are you talking about then you pivote to me being wrong about the Opium wars.
Next part of your… I guess rebuttal deals with gold but I was talking about the USSR and what they did? No comments from you about that again just a waving of hands what about this comment.
You are the one trying to add new things I never talked about then are telling me to get educated 😂 with all my heart fuck off I didn’t bring up anything that you are claiming I need to learn up on and didn’t address any of my points.
Also it’s clear you don’t know your history cause it wasn’t until the Spanish American War the US was deemed an up and coming super power and we didn’t do that much for WWI. It was WWII that we went nuts on and dropped suns on Japan.
Also check your Opium War dates… ya might wanna be correct before you try and tell someone what to do 😂
Check out the Opium Wars dates yourself.
They started in 1840 and began the serial and ongoing incursion of western and Japanese imperialism upon Chinese sovereignty from that date.
It was not until Hiroshima and the US airlifting the Japanese occupying forces out of China that China was not constantly imposed upon although the US still sought to remove the new Chinese government via Korea and via efforts to capture Tibet for the positioning of nuclear missiles which would have left China extremely exposed and vulnerable to US aggression.
The US did not formally recognise the mainland Chinese government until the 1970s.
For any deep understanding of the current situation regarding China the Opium Wars are the correct starting point- one you appear tragically ignorant of. One that most Chinese are however well aware of.
I am not obliged to respond to you incorrect, irrelevant and muddled assertions just as I am not responsible for your lack of historical knowledge.
Just hope some US govt employees have a better grasp on Sino-West history and its logical implications than you demonstrate.

September 1839 I actually could not find a source that said it started in 1940 as even the British Government and China state it started in 1939 but according to you both governments are wrong lmao the ignorance is beyond me...
In spring 1839 the Chinese government confiscated and destroyed more than 20,000 chests of opium—some 1,400 tons of the drug—that were warehoused at Canton (Guangzhou) by British merchants. The antagonism between the two sides increased in July when some drunken British sailors killed a Chinese villager. The British government, which did not wish its subjects to be tried in the Chinese legal system, refused to turn the accused men over to the Chinese courts.British warships attacking a Chinese battery on the Pearl (Zhu) River during the First Opium War, 1841. Hostilities broke out later that year when British warships destroyed a Chinese blockade of the Pearl River (Zhu Jiang) estuary at Hong Kong.
Also would love to see some evidence of this supposed air lift of Japanese forces from China. Were surrendered forces returned? Of course as with POWs.
You did help me remember of The Hump which was a daring thing again for arming China during the conflict.
