China in WW2

That really depends on when you are talking about.

Until the 1840s you could say that the principal European Nations wanted China to open to trade, and to this end sought to establish trading posts and commercial treaties with China. The Chinese economy was largely self-supporting and the Chinese were suspicious and contemptuous of the europeans so they confined them to certain areas on the coast. The europeans, particularly the British then tried to create a demand for their goods in China which was not successful until they began to import opium, for which there had long been a demand and a trade in China.

The Chinese government became increasingly uneasy with this traffic and sought to control it or ban it. This caused problems with the British and eventually there was a war over it which the British won. They demanded the cession of Hong kong as a trading base. from the 1840s the western powers increasingly made territorial demands and trade concessions from China which they perceived as weak and crumbling.

In the 20th century the Chinese replaced the old Imperial government with a republic but here was a civil war for nearly 30 years. Europe (and the US) at this time sought to mainatin their concessions and privileges in China without getting too involved in the very complicated domestic situation.

After WWII all rights and territories (except Hong Kong and Macau) were returned to China. After the communist takeover Europe (and the US) mostly wanted to contain Chinese communist influence in Asia. The British were successful in Malaysia but the French and Americans less so in Vietnam and Korea.

In the modern age i would say that Europe wants form China a peaceful economic development and partnership.

Throughout much of its history China has been considered to be a closed society and isolated nation

Health, happiness, contentment, joy...stuff like that.

just to say my great uncle was a spy in nanjing for china.

When:7000+ years ago, Where: in the Garden of Eden.

God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Bad, or in that 'day' {a thousand years, (Ps 90:2, 4) and (2Pe 3:8)} they would die. He was taught the consequences of his actions.

After sinner Adam's expulsion from Eden he lived to see the murder of his own son, banishment of his killer-son, abuse of the marriage arrangement, and profanation of Jehovah's sacred name. He witnessed the building of a city, the development of musical instruments, and the forging of tools out of iron and copper.

He watched and was condemned by the example of Enoch, "the seventh one in line from Adam," one who "kept walking with the true God." He even lived to see Noah's father Lamech of the ninth generation. Finally, after 930 years, most of which was spent in the slow process of dying, Adam returned to the ground from which he was taken, in the year 3096 B.C.E.They began dying that very day. Adam lived on to 930 years, under the prophetic 'thousand years.

Mao Tse Tung, commonly referred to as Chairman Mao was born in 1893 and died in 1976. He was a Chinese communist revolutionary, politican and socio-political theorist.

the Chinese government is like a company

The Great Leap Forward of the People's Republic of China (PRC) was an economic and social plan used from 1958 to 1961 which ostensibly aimed to use China's vast population to rapidly transform China from an agrarian economy into a modern communist society.

The Great Leap Forward,is an economic plan in the Peoples Republic of China used from 1958 to 1960 *The Great Leap Forward is a theory explaining behavioral modernity in humans.

Only about 7,000 survived. The Long March became a symbol of the bitter hardships Communists would endure before they finally gained power in 1949.
I think it is also important in Chinese history because of the hardships that the Communists had to go through to finally gain power.

You have to be more precise about the time period. Karl Marx was the original leader of the Communist party. That is why it is sometimes called Marxism. Lenin led the Communist Party at the time of the Russian Revolution, Russian Civil War, and into the 1920s. Stalin, Kruschev, and Breshnev all led the Communist Party at various times.

Full invasion. They just took everything over by force, with the warlord in Manchuria afraid of starting a war, and predicting the Japanese only wanted more "benefits" not complete annexation, he ordered his troops not to resist.

China Communist Party

China has a history of being the birthplace of Taoism, Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism. Nowadays the Communist party is dominant, and the official doctrine is atheism. Mao had a "cult of personality" when alive.

They were looking for a fast source of wealth and quick riches through abundance of gold.

Starting in 1931 Japan invaded the North Eastern part of China including Manchuria and bordered by the USSR.

The population of China was 1.14333 billion in 1990. (Unofficial statistics, for your reference only)

China is the Middle Kingdom, it is a center of wisdom and enlightenment, and everything outside can be considered barbaric. The Chinese learned long ago that tributary nations require as much support as they provide. The Chinese have only had desire to conquer the world for a few fleeting moments in history, usually when the ruling people were not Chinese natives, and then they realized they are far better off being content with what they have.

slaves and captives built the great wall of china, but it was constructed by Qin Shi Huang

Central Africa, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, unless you want to count the polar regions which came a few decades later. Parts of the interior of South America were also little known into the 20th century.
