鞏金甌,
承天幬,
民物欣鳧藻,

清時幸遭。

has someone said yes....?
China instantly became the Sick Man of Asia once the Manchus were in power.
Lost a war to the British over Opium. Coastal cities invaded and taken over by European powers.
Only looked powerful because sheer size and the fact that the rest of asia was more shit, except Japan of course.

What did you expect from nomadic horse niggers?

Yes, because the Ming would have handled the situation SOOO much better than the Qing. There were some fuck ups that the Manchus did, but would it have changed anything in the long run about how China gets shafted by the rest of the world?

If the Manchus weren't in power then the Taiping Rebellion would never have happened which completely fucked over the country.

Honestly, how many nations in the world at the time COULD have stood up to the British Navy in a conflict like the First Opium War?
France, the United States perhaps. I don't know the state of the Iberian Navy, but that's about it. Who else was fielding iron steamships in large numbers?

The Mongols ruined China.
The Ming just managed to stop the bleeding, but they were never able to reach the heights of the Song.
Qing were dealt a shitty hand.
