China was completely contrary from Central Africa on economic, political, and cultural bases during the 1500-1800. From 1000-1500 China led the world in economic development and there after experiencing the trauma of rule by the Yuan Dynasty, China adopted policies that favoured Chinese political and cultural tradition. On the other hand, the kingdoms of central Africa had initiated commercial relations with Portuguese merchants and diplomatic relations with Portuguese monarchy. Portuguese traded for slaves and slave trade undetermined the authority of the King. The Kings were converts of Christianity just to establish closer relations with Portuguese whereas Chinese has great problems with the exclusivity of Christianity but the Jesuits were respectful of Chinese culture and won a few converts.

Abraham Lincoln is the most influential President in the United States because he put and kept the union from Civil war, enacted the Homestead Act, and crafted the thirteenth amendment, which ended slavery. Sothern leaders began to threaten about leaving the union, because of Republican plan to end slavery. The Civil War began on April 12, 1861, as forces from the
MacArthur set out to sway his country and his administration into supporting his idea of war and strategy in Korea, while Truman set out to limit it. The mainstay in MacArthur’s argument for broadening the war and utilizing the multitude of resources available to the U.S. was that China was fighting an inherently weak modern war, relying mostly on ground forces and without an industry to supply those forces. He viewed Chinese forces as easily defeatable by disrupting the limited supply systems in place and creating blockades to cut off the distribution of more men. Because China could not deploy an air force or turn out a navy, it was unable to defend itself with larger munitions. Achieving a victory by utilizing tactical advantages, MacArthur felt he could achieve victory within a reasonable time.
Throughout the 19th century, American relations with China were restricted to a small but profitable trade a. The British, in competition with France, Germany, and Russia, took advantage of the crumbling Manchu dynasty to force treaties on China, creating “treaty ports” and granting exclusive trading privileges in various parts of the country. b. American attitudes toward the Chinese people reflected this confusion of motives. 2. The annexation of Hawaii and Philippines in 1898 and 1899 convinced Secretary of State Hay that the US should have announced a China policy.
Being afraid of inferior if a fight really happened, the Vietnam Communist Government hopelessly gave its island up to China. The main reason of this yield is that Vietnam was not ready for a war yet; and its leader didn’t have a really powerful army in hand. So, it’s willing to give up in front of stronger militaries. Another, Machiavelli argued that the leader should take control of his people by force rather than by law. Oppositely, Lao-Tzu admitted that a good leader should not rule his people, but to follow.
Imperialism in China Between 1750 and 1900, both China and Japan endured pressures from their foreign counterparts make themselves open to trade and relations. In the beginning both China and Japan were resistant against foreign domination, but in the 19th century Japan progressively accepted foreign domination to achieve the goal of modernization while China continued to resist foreign control and remain true to their ancient way of life.. In the 1700s, both China and Japan viewed the West as conflictions against their way of life and had perceived them as barbarians believing that their way of life was far more superior. When European ambassadors were sent to their lands in valiant attempts to negotiate trade with China and Japan, the emperors mocked them and boasted about how they possessed no need for Western influence. The Japanese originally developed an interest in trading with the Europeans, but the Jesuit missionaries who followed the traders arose hesitation that ultimately affected their decision to succumb to Western influences in the sense of preserving their beliefs and cultures.
Gandhi struggled to fight against British colonizing power and the Western models of society brought with it. In China, Mao shared the same struggle against an invading power. While not a Western nation, Japan invaded China and brought what Mao considered Western systems: imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism. The historical context in which these two leaders fought an invading power was, of course, a national issue, independent of one another. However, what they fought against and the goals they made for their national struggles were global and holistic.
However, Sun Yatsen was not in the country at the time the revolution started, implying that the Qing would’ve fallen anyway. An influential character of the revolution was Sun Yatsen, the leader of the tongmenghui.

Sun was educated abroad as a doctor in Hong Kong where he experienced the lifestyle of those who lived in the Western Society. However, by the time of his graduation, Sun believed that whilst the Manchu dynasty still existed, China would remain corrupt and backwards.
However, by looking back the history, we can make a responsible conclusion that the liberalization of speech can neither jeopardize the stability, nor undermine the nation. Instead, it helps to evolve nations into new stages where civilians’ free will is protected and democracy is finalized in the mainland of China. Indeed, speech as a way of expressing thoughts and views, when it carries out free thoughts, it also produces chaos. Especially when the conflicts of interest are confronted, people can hardly leverage between personal and public interests. Recalling to the Li Gang incident, a famous case across
