Why wouldn't China just wait for the English on land they would have never been able to conquer that land and in the end England would have to sue for peace because with unlimited war they would be disturbing commerce of tea themselves.

Ah. The Taiping rebellion. The massacre of millions by the hands of a bunch of normal people who made up a scapegoat afterwards because they all of a sudden realized they were monsters. Hilarious.

This taught me so much more than my actual East Asia history class. Bro I was told it was only navel fighting, and it was only started by that one Qing officer. I think my teacher is racist

China: Most of our ships are so-called Junks.
Britain: SEND THE BEHEMOTH.
China: I hope you don't mean the HMS Nemesis.
Britain: SEND THE NEMESIS.

Never do your enemy a small injury. Either stay at peace or total genocide.
China was humiliated but not broken and now they're poised to destroy the world.

The anglo-maratha wars would be a good topic. The story of how one man's selfishness put an entire subcontinent into British subjugation.

Another war based on Britain's ignorant concept of economic that thought it's inherently bad to import more than you export.

The British made tens of millions of Chinese addicted to Opium just to be able to afford tea. Seems normal to me!
