Is it me or this cunt barely had any control over anything that happened in his life ? Could he have done something (is it the proper spelling) ?
wild guess: you're korean

Basically, no. You have to remember that the ruling class of the Qing dynasty was of a completely different ethnic group and were thus seen as usurpers ever since the very beginning. As if the civil war in China wasnt enough to bury the Manchus further into the dustbin of history, then came along the Japanese empire who cucked the Manchus last emperor into powerlessness with every meaning of the word.

From what I read and the movie I saw on him I barely heard about korea having any influence in his life baring the korean immigrant in the puppet state so why do you say that
>>883233
It's really sad tbf
Untill he went to Manchukuo, he only wanted to make China great again
And then the commies and republicucks decided to destroy chinese culture and turn it into a tateless, consumerist, Western-carbon-copy

Wild guess he just saw the "Last Emperor" from Bertorucci

As opposed to having a stifling and backwards Confucian culture with hordes of unruly peasants, a corrupt government that couldn't do anything, and no order or standardization, right?

He could've reformed all that
Puyi was a pretty good leader and loved western efficiency culture, but wouldn't have sold the country to foreigners
China could've been Japan 2.0
But that wasn't what happened, unfortunately
Now we have a mongrel country of uncaring people that can't choose which path it wants to follow

Also
>Confucianism
>Backwards
lel what
the chinese just didn't adapt the concept of capitalist progress quick enough to get ahead
there was a reason China was the leading country in all aspects untill the Scientific Revolution

Confucianism stopped working once the colonial powers turned up. The Emperor was the last thing China needed at that point.
>>883555
>Pu Yi was a pretty good leader
He literally did nothing in his entire opulent life. It was all handled by various advisers and a huge bureaucracy.
>China could've been Japan 2.0
Impossible seeing that there are 55 competing different minorities with their own aspirations who nearly all exploded under the final days of the Qing.
Japan however was nearly 100% Yamato, they had clear national interests and were not completely under the whim of foreign powers.

Yeah the Qing could have tried being not shit.

At year's end, yin and yang hurry the shortened day,
At sky's end, frost and snow clear the frozen night.
Fifth watch: the drum and horn sound out mournful and strong,
Three gorges: the river of stars casts its trembling shadow.
Countryside cries from a thousand homes hearing news of the fighting,
Barbaric songs here and there rise from fishers and woodsmen.
Sleeping Dragon and Leaping Horse both ended in yellow dirt;
Waiting for news of worldly affairs brings me useless grief.
