Robert Bickers. Out of China
On November 23, 1918, the foreign community in China celebrated the end of the Great War with parades and ceremonies. The fact that there were so many different foreigners in China—Britons, Americans, French, Belgians, Serbs, Indians, and many more—and the fact that much of their celebration on Chinese soil more or less elided the participation of China itself in the war on the side of the Allies, reveals much about the unequal foreign presence a…
Everyday Life in Joseon-era Korea
Competition in absentia
Machine-woven cotton textiles are emblematic of British industrialization and imperialism. Trade was also permitted but severely regulated at designated periodic trade fairs along the Sino-Korean border. The British Empire took a leading role in the 19th-century transformation of the nature of commercial relations between the Qing Empire and the outside world. The import of cotton, silk, and hemp textiles constituted the largest and most signific…
Stephen R. Halsey. Quest for Power
The idea that the period 1839–1949 was the “era of humiliation” in which China, the “sick man of Asia,” struggled against successive waves of foreign imperialism is a powerful one with remarkable staying power. Stephen R. Halsey’s Quest for Power: European Imperialism and the Making of Chinese Statecraft joins a growing chorus of works that question this broad characterization. Where others saw dissolution and decline, particularly in the last de…
Comforting Fictions
Observers and practitioners of Sino-Korean relations in both the pre- and post-nineteenth century have utilized powerful “comforting fictions” to describe and justify power asymmetry. In the pre-nineteenth-century period, the idea of the “tribute system” put a veneer of Confucian benevolence on what a closer examination reveals to have been unequal and coercive relations. Western proponents of the Westphalian system of sovereign equality saw the …
The Qing Empire (China), Imperialism, and the Modern World
China has become the subject of increasing attention in the study of world history. However, many world history texts still place the last Chinese dynasty, the Qing, in the category of the ‘losers’: victims of Western imperialism whose inability to adjust to the times led to their demise. A re‐examination of the Qing Empire reveals a dynamic, expansionistic empire worthy of comparison with the largest empires of the West. The Qing Empire’s experi…
