Worst then the Colonist, Qing just interested in the gold/ silver by exporting tea leaves, bones, silks to the western world while remain closed door to outsiders denying rest of world to trade with them. such one sided trade resulted great imbalance and eventually got them into trouble when western world resorted to force to crack open the Ching Dynasty's door.

They are doing it once again now... great surplus in China and huge deficits at US side.... and u see how they invested in Malaysia's infa project, funding from China Bank.. and then all project must go to china contractor and they bring in china materials and workers and the workers bring in their own china brand source. and msia to repay the China funds eventually with interest... the whole loops is such that evenutally all money goes back to China... leaving nothing to malaysia....

if history repeat itself... i think western world gonna find another way to crack open china once more... how... i dunno..
