U.S. Foreign Policy Towards China

            
             Many aspects of China's history attributed to China's revolution in 1911. These aspects were both long term and short term. China's 1911 revolution was somewhat different from those in other countries in that the factors leading up to it were not mainly short term but rather were part of China's long-term culture. It was because of these established roots and ideas that the 1911 revolution did not completely succeed in changing the outlook of many people in China. Generally there is not one source that makes a revolution happen. China's 1911 revolution was no different in that the reasons that it happened were numerous. Both short term and many long-term situations in China mixed together to make a lethal combination of simmering, restless and frustrating problems. Taxation in China was a big predicament. As uprisings sprung up all over the country, the government had to increase taxes to suppress these rebellions. But because of corruption on a grand scale within the government, half the money never reached anywhere other than that of the official's pockets. The exhausting corruption which soured the lower levels of government and the top positions in the government were monopolized ruthlessly which added to the people's general tiredness of the way things were run. The above points are the money problems that plagued China, but many of the problems were more to do with the mental attitude of the Chinese people. When the Boxer Protocol was enforced the Manchu had to agree to even more foreign demands and when they failed to intervene in the Russo-Japanese war, anti-Manchu and anti-foreign feeling increased. This led to a rising Nationalism that said the Manchu were strangers and they had no right to be in control of China. As the treaty ports grew and flourished the people living there were exposed to many foreign ideas and the urbanized population quickly became westernized. Many had the idea that change in the old way of government was a good thing.
