It really wasn't during imerialism, it was more they took over china WITH Imperialism! They took it over mainly because chine was somewhat smaller that them in the Economy, military, or just politcally.

Europeans, mostly France and England took almost absolute control over India's government, but focused only on securing trading rights in China. In order to add additional information, France lost its battle to take control over parts of India. This was one result of the French and Indian War. In both India and China, force was used.

Ethnocentrism is the express of superiority over other races. For example, this used to be the philosophy of Europeans during the ages of imperialism. Today, no countries truly express ethnocentrism at a national level, but perhaps North Korea.
European nations were the most active in adding colonies, especially in Africa and Asia. Europeans wanted to have control over the natural resources and trade routes. America was still involved with the Industrial Revolution and Manifest Destiny and isolated itself from the practice of Imperialism.
TO CONTROL TRADE WITH ASIAN LANDS.The main discrepancy between colonialism and imperialism is that colonialism was taking over uncharted land or territories. Imperialism was ruling over the people who already inhabited a certain territory or landmass and imposing your culture on them.

Why did the boers and the British fight over Southern Africa
China was an isolationist country that did not want to trade with other nations, especially not Europeans. However, Europeans basically took over China and cut it into little pieces among the French, British, Germans, Italians, and Portuguese. They then forced China to trade with them. The trading was very helpful to Europeans, and in the long haul, the Chinese as well.

During the mid-19th century, economic imperialism significantly impacted China by undermining its sovereignty and traditional economic structures. The Opium Wars, driven by British trade interests, forced China to cede territory, like Hong Kong, and grant extraterritorial rights to foreign powers, leading to a series of "Unequal Treaties." This influx of foreign goods and control over trade weakened local industries and exacerbated social unrest, contributing to internal strife, such as the Taiping Rebellion. Ultimately, economic imperialism destabilized China and set the stage for further foreign intervention and exploitation.
