In the 1800s, westerners significantly influenced China through trade, Imperialism, and cultural exchanges. The Opium Wars, driven by British trade in opium, led to the Treaty of Nanking in 1842, which opened several Chinese ports to foreign trade and ceded Hong Kong to Britain. This period saw the introduction of Western education, technology, and ideas, which challenged traditional Chinese society and governance. Additionally, missionary activities brought Western religious beliefs and practices, further impacting Chinese culture.

In the 1800s, China faced significant internal and external challenges that contributed to its weakness. Internally, the Qing Dynasty struggled with corruption, social unrest, and population pressures, leading to uprisings such as the Taiping Rebellion. Externally, Western powers exploited China's vulnerabilities through unequal treaties following military defeats, such as the Opium Wars, further eroding its sovereignty and economic stability. These factors combined to undermine China's strength and influence during this period.

Westerners gained trading rights in China during the 1800s following the Opium War. China was a prosperous country that produces all the goods the citizens needed. The Chinese felt European goods were shoddy, and they had little interest in trade. The British were determined to find a product the Chinese would want to purchase in large quantities. The answer was opium, but the Chinese government tried to stop the trade. This led to war.
Disaffected Chinese citizens launched the Boxer Rebellion, an anti foreign movement that rejected Western influence in China and included violence against Westerners and Chinese Christians.

Unfortunately yes, many westerners are ignorant of countries not usually covered in their mainstream media. Singapore at the southern tip of Malaysia may thought to be in China for some westerners.
