It is some years later, and standards have been relaxed.
No, China was a Monarchy for over 2000 years but the 1911 Xinhai Revolution, lead by Sun Yat-Sen and his Republican supporters, overthrew Empress Dowager Longyu, the Xuantong Emperor, (Puyi, but was a minor at the time of the revolution) and the Qing Dynasty. Imperial China fell when Empress Dowager Longyu abdicated on behalf of the 6 year old Xuantong Emperor (Puyi) resulting in the downfall of the Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China with Sun Yat-Sen as its first President. The abdication was pressured by the double-crosser General Yuan Shikai who was loyal to the Empress at the beginning of the revolution but sided with the revolutionaries when Sun Yat-Sen offered that he would resign the presidency and give it to him without any national election if he successfully force Empress Dowager Longyu to abdicate which he agreed to. Had the Qing Dynasty been in excellent state, with Empress Dowager Longyu and Prince-Regent Zaifeng been very experienced, they could have possibly put down the Xinhai Revolution and China could retain an Empire!

Why did the pope give his blessing for William of Orange to go to war with James II and Louis XIV?
William of Orange was actually known by two names at this period of time, which can make it difficult to be sure if you're reading on the right person in various scripts. He was known mainly as William III of Orange (being his Stadtholder, or his regal title for his presidence over Dutch/Holland/Zeeland rule) but he was also written as William II of Orange (which was his title as King of Scotland presiding over England and Scotland during the abdication of James II). However, the locals called him King Billy...
SO to answer your question, the Pope never gave a blessing for William III of Orange to go to war with James and Louis. In fact, quite the opposite was the case. James II (as well as Louis XIV) was a strong Roman Catholic and was fighting to give more power to the Roman Catholics in England and Ireland. Most of his army was Irish Roman Catholics (even after he abdicated the throne the Irish still fought King Billy until he conceded their rights along with the Jacobites).
The Vatican was unhappy with the success of the Protestant William and his wife Mary II to be ruling the nation of England for the short time after James II.
