This historical analysis will define the imperial impact of French colonialism and the influence of Chinese communism and on the Vietnamese people in the pre-WWII era. The important role of China in the development of Vietnam’s history is crucial to understand the ways in which foreign colonists could not sustain dominance over these peoples. In the past, Northern Vietnam had been a part of China, which defines the close relationship that these people had with a larger and more powerful empire in this region of the world. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, the role of China’s own nationalist movements had an impact on Vietnam’s own struggles in French-Indochina. The early focus on “nationalism” in China was going against western
The only problem with this wall, was that if it was worth the money and the lives that were lost for the possible benefits that would come. From various documents, it showed that the cost of building the wall, does outweigh the benefits of it. Document C shows that the Han had paid tribute to the Xiongnu Mongols to stop them from raiding China, but it happened anyways. Also, Document E shows the amount of harsh conditions and people who were laid to work for this wall.
Thus, the United States entered into the Chinese Civil War to restrain the growth of communism in China and to defend United States country to balance its power with the Soviet Union, so that the Soviet Union could not become the most powerful state. United States is a country that has a super power after World War II with the Soviet Union, but in the Chinese Civil War United States lost this war when siding with China nationalist party. And in this case I assume that with the resignation of the United States while helping the Chinese nationalist party, because if the United States increasingly help Chinese nationalist party, the faster growth of the Chinese Communist Party. This is because the Chinese communists will continue to expand the territory of the continuing war between the Communist Party of China with the Chinese nationalist party. And it makes more and more followers of communism in China.
Why do we need to know Chinese business? Europe has been the dominating economic structure since the start of industrial age, Globalization has stated to effect in the 20th century as an aggressive phase on economic integration.

In 1895, Japan took over a large part of China and so did the Europeans in the late 1890s due to China’s leaders’ lack of power to control their nation by opening up its doors for them to trade and them taking an advantage of it. Many of the US business and government leaders worried they were not give equal opportunity to trade with them so they proposed the Open Door Policy with China. The policy stated all nations will be allowed to trade freely in and with China. Europeans this to be the benefit of the US and would take away their power in China so they did not accept. Later European accepted the Open Door Policy after more than 200 foreigners were killed in the Boxer Rebellion.
The barbarian force of the Mongols caused issues that were significant to China which made the most impact on the Chinese culture in a wall being built. This wall is known as the Great Wall of China. The wall contained a sense of nationalism to protect the nation and liberalism to keep people in and not letting Chinese civilians leave. Nationalism can best be described as the support and one's value of their own country is preserved. Liberalism is the act of liberal perspectives being perpetuated.
“Sun’s genius of vision provided a feasible solution to the serious strife in the world and among all Asian nations”(Zhang 64). Between the 19th century and 20th century, not only China was in the control of the West, but many other nations were in the control of the West. For example, India was colonized by the Great British; Indonesia was colonized by Netherlands; Vietnam was colonized by France; the Philippines was colonized by Spain. Most nations in Asia were forced to join the global market and provided raw materials for the West. In this kind of situation, the nationalists, patriots were eager to save their motherlands and found proper ways to become independent and strong.
However, with the success of SEZs, it created a problem that the government wanted to avoid: regional inequality. The SEZs were mainly situated in the eastern part of China and therefore, foreign and local investments would usually be directed towards the eastern and central part of the country . With lack of such investments and developments, the western part of China starts to fall behind in terms of the economic conditions and the standard of living there. With the eastern and central regions becoming increasingly more developed and the western regions remaining underdeveloped, this created greater regional inequality in the country as seen by the increase in China’s Gini coefficient from the range of 0.21 to 0.24 in the 1970s to a range of 0.4 and 0.5 in 2005 . As such, although SEZs helped to promote economic growth in China by slowly opening up to foreign investors, it also created more inequality between the regions which was a major problem to the Chinese government which will be discussed

Soon after the death of Zheng He, China ceased exploration of new lands. Conversely, the wealth and power the excursions generated for Spain and Portugal fueled their desired to discover new territories and treasures. Although the explorations were considered successful in elevating Chinese stature and influence at the time, questions arose over how much the Chinese actually profited from their expensive excursions. Chinese officials argued they benefitted as much as they could from the trips for the vast amounts of money spent and the decision was made to cease further expeditions. In addition, invaders from the north were creating new threats and money was needed to defend and fortify the Chinese borders.
Many traveled to China for its success. Without Imperialism China wouldn’t be the country it is today. China also had many issues. The very start Chinese was paid very little for its gold and silver.
In the nation of Lesotho (located above South Africa), many locals recognize what the United States does, but also want to embrace Chinese investment as well despite some grumbling about the idea of China taking away jobs and undercutting Lesothoan businesses. The United States, though not having the long-term planning initiative, invested in providing antiretroviral treatment for HIV, which supposedly affected 23% of Lesothoans (Harding, Andrew.
