Sorry guys I don't have time to translate this but Chinese folks should study how Manchus have massacred 800,000 Han Chinese (mostly ruling class & aristocrats) - this explain why Han Chinese today have forgotten their true culture and history. Just after the collapse of Ming dynasty of China, Manchus was ordered to exterminate Han Chinese ruling class by their newly declared emperor. Massacre continued,
the evidence is the population of Ming during end of 16th century was around 52 million after 8 years of Manchu ruling of China, the population of Qing was recorded as 10.6 million - we can see there was rapid population drop here. Then after 48 years of Manchu rules - the population of China risen to 19.4 million (approx. 37% of that original Chinese population). So what hell happened to rest of 63% of the original Chinese population? You can literally sense how millions of Chinese would have been massacred by Manchus.
http://www.koreansentry.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2203Korean sources even agreed to the Manchurian atrocities. This is only one of it around 45 million death in 1 wave only. Through out 300- 350 years , u could imagine, how much more these kind of dealings happened. Want more ??
First of all, I never suggest anything. You keep saying that I suggest something when all I did is compare your figures with figures in Wikipedia and offer simplest explanation to the differences in numbers, which you had been unable to do.
Secondly, let's play the number game again. Look at my previous post:
QUOTE
"At the founding of the Ming Dynasty in 1368, China's population was reported to be close to 60 million; toward the end of the dynasty in 1644, it may have approached 150 million."
The figure of population during Qing Dynasty was estimated at:
QUOTE
- 1740 est. 140,000,000
- 1776 est. 268,238,000
- 1790 est. 301,000,000
I agree that there will be death during war (Oh, suprised!

) but your numbers are not quite right. If you look at the estimated population in Wikipedia, there are about 10 millions population differences in between the dynasties. Granted 10 millions is still a large number, but it is not 30 millions+ as you suggested and not that large of the percentage as you suggested (6% population loss vs your claim of 63% population death). And not all are death, as some of them might take some precaution action during war, such as you know get the hell out of there and go to other countries.
Also, if you look at the numbers again, in close to 300 years of Ming dynasty, the population grows by about 90 millions. In about 50 years of Qing rule, the population grows by about 160 millions. The key to ruling a country is not kill everyone with difference bloodline than yours, that is not good sense. How will killing people off good for you since it lower your tax revenue and increase possibility of revolution? It's better to keep population large, but ignorant and happy with your rule. Of course, in your mind, everyone who are not Japanese is just Han Betrayer, including Han themselves.
I would also like to point out that while China is large, I doubts their ruling class & aristocrats numbers in ten of millions. That's too large number for "elite class" in my opinion.
