China was never colonised, western countries simply seized bits of it (for example, Hong Kong) to further their own needs. the whole country was probably considered too big (and after the boxer rebellions, too unruly) to colonise with much success. instead mass exploitation was used, such as in forcing china to open its doors to the opium trade

Who colonized China?
Almost all powerful Western countries and Japan colonized some areas in China (total around 5-10% of China's areas, but those areas are the best and most important lands, cities and seaports). Each country colonized a small region in China. Some regions are very large though like Manchurian provinces colonized by Russia and later by Japan after a serious war between Russia and Japan. Britain colonized Hong Kong and Canton area and some area in Shanghai. Germany colonized Ching Tsao area. Dutch invaded and colonized Taiwan. Portugal colonized Macau. France took Vietnam and some other areas in China. During Qing Dynasty, Manchu Chinese controlled the Government of China. Manchu Chinese badly managed the country. So, Han Chinese, the majority of China and the cultural big boss of China, waked up from a long, nice and peaceful sleep. Now, Han Chineses controlled the Government and it is totally a different phenomenon. However, because of Western countries continual support of separation of China until today, China was split into pieces. Outer Mongolia went into independence with the support of USSR. North East and North West regions of China were occupied and controlled by Russia til today. Just these 2 areas are about one third the area of China now! China now is facing another intention to separate Tibet with foreign aids from Western countries. China is pity! China was too big and wealthy that it attracted too many ants to eat it! Is this right? That Dutch also colonize Taiwan? I thought Dutch only colonize Indonesia..................
