How China Survived Being Carved Up by Europe — And Outlasted Them All

How China Survived Being Carved Up by Europe — And Outlasted Them All In the late 1800s, European powers gathered around maps of China like vultures around a carcass. Britain took Hong Kong. France took Indochina's border regions. Germany took Shandong. Russia took Manchuria. They called it "spheres of influence." China called it dismemberment.
