The Manchu dynasty was met with growing resentment from the Chinese population. This population understood that China was not the world power when the British arrived with a relatively small amount of troops and defeated them easily. The global perception of China changed after the Opium Wars; after these wars, China was seen as an "easy target."

The Manchu Dynasty couldn't prevent the forces of reform from overtaking it.
