As a Chinese, everyone should be well aware that it was only in 1840 that the mainland entered modern society. From modern times to modern times, the mainland has experienced less than 200 years.
However, in just two centuries, the mainland has experienced too much bitter suffering, and has also suffered from the invasion and bullying of more than ten countries.
Today, although these times of humiliation and suffering have passed, let us not forget these aggressors at all times and in any place. Among the many aggressors, six countries have incurred blood debts to the mainland, and their actions have made it difficult for the people on the mainland to let go.
Britain and France who have joined forces to bully
In the 40s of the 19th century, when Britain opened the door to the mainland with opium, the mainland was forced to get involved in the world wave.
In order to seize silver and gold from the mainland, Britain frequently dumped large amounts of opium on the mainland. When the people on the mainland consumed opium for a long time, the whole people became physically weak, unable to fight the invaders, and their minds became numb and unable to work at all. It is in this way that the British continue to destroy the national will power of the mainland and weaken the strength of the mainland.
In order to further expand the mainland market, Britain also launched the first Opium War to the mainland, and in 1956 joined forces with France to launch the second Opium War.
In 1960, these two Western invaders jointly invaded the Old Summer Palace and looted more than 1.5 million cultural relics, including bronzes, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and jade gemstones, each of which was worth a lot of value individually. It was this incident that not only destroyed the Old Summer Palace, but also caused countless treasures on the mainland to be lost overseas, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
In the years of aggression, Britain and France became more and more greedy and insufficient, and they frequently took advantage of the fire and robbery, signed many agreements with the mainland to humiliate the country, and snatched tens of millions of taels of silver from them. After these silvers arrived in Europe, they greatly accelerated the modernization process of the West and promoted the industrial development of the West.
In 1900, Britain and France, together with Russia, Portugal, the United States and other countries, attacked the mainland again, forced the mainland to sign the most exaggerated "Xinxiu Treaty" in history, and forced the mainland to compensate the West for 450 million taels of silver. These reparations further exacerbated the semi-colonization process on the mainland and devastated the mainland's economic strength.
In addition to these incriminating evidence, it should not be forgotten that the British once incited the local aristocracy in Tibet to try to divide the mainland. In addition, the British forcibly occupied Hong Kong in 1841, and it was not until 100 years later that Hong Kong returned to the mainland.
Russia invaded the territory of the mainland
As early as the Qing Dynasty, the mainland and Russia have been at war with each other, and the two sides often fight over the border between the two countries.
In the early Qing Dynasty, because of the mainland's national strength, Russia naturally did not dare to act rashly against the mainland, but from the 19th century, when the mainland was humiliated by the Western powers, Russia saw that the mainland power was weak and took advantage of the weakness to encroach on the mainland's territory.
In 1840, the year the mainland was forced to open its doors, Russia occupied more than 1 million square kilometers of the mainland. Twenty years later, Russia encroached on more than 800,000 lands north of the Khing'an Ridge and east of the Ussuri River outside the mainland, and forced the mainland to sign the Treaty of Aihun and the Treaty of Beijing. In 1876, the mainland state of Kokand was also annexed by Russia.
At that time, Russia came to invade the mainland almost every year or two, and the Qing power on the mainland was weakening and could not confront Russia. During its years of occupation, Russia has encroached on 5.44 million square kilometers of the mainland. This area is huge. That's half of the continent's existing territory.
What makes people angry is that whenever Russia invades the mainland land, it will drive out the indigenous people of the mainland, enrich its own population, and fundamentally assimilate these lands.
It must be known that Mongolia, which is now independent, was once the territory of the mainland, but because of Russia's obstruction, this land of more than 300 square kilometers was eventually separated from the mainland.
Japan, which has a deep blood feud with the mainland
Needless to say, the hatred between Japan and the mainland must be well known to everyone. As early as the late Qing Dynasty, Japan took advantage of the Western powers to rob the mainland, and in 1894, a Sino-Japanese naval battle with the mainland shocked the world.
Taking advantage of the repeated gains of mobile phones, Japan has signed many unfair treaties on the mainland, including the Treaty of Shimonoseki and the Treaty of Shin-Chu, from which Japan has plundered a lot of wealth from the mainland.
But this greedy people was not satisfied, and in the 20th century they began to step up their aggression against the mainland, and finally broke out the famous war of aggression against China with the mainland.
The 14-year war cost the mainland more than 35 million people and wiped out its economy. During this period, Japan committed heinous crimes on the mainland, pursuing the Three Lights Policy, carrying out a six-week massacre in Nanjing, etc., which made every Chinese unforgettable, even in peacetime, whenever we mention Japan, we have three points of hatred for it.
The United States, which is proud and arrogant, has repeatedly opposed the mainland
Although in recent history, the crimes committed by the United States against the mainland are not as hateful as those of Japan and Russia. But don't forget that in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the mainland sacrificed more than 180,000 lives and fought a hard war with the United States for nearly four years, which was exchanged for peace on the border, so the United States and the mainland also have a deep blood debt.
In recent years, due to the continuous development of the mainland and the frequent cyber attacks of the United States, the United States is afraid that the mainland's strength will catch up with the United States, so it often carries out groundless slander and suppression on the mainland, and created the Yugoslav embassy incident in 1999.
In recent years, with the rise of the mainland, the relationship between the mainland and the United States has become delicate again, so at this juncture, everyone should not take it lightly.
The first invading country, Portugal
In 1514, when the Age of Exploration began, Portuguese navigators came to invade the mainland, so from the timeline, Portugal was the earliest invading country, they had long regarded the rich property of the eastern powers, and they wanted to occupy Macao for themselves. Later, after signing the Sino-Portuguese Treaty of Friendship and Commerce with the mainland, the Portuguese brazenly settled in Macao, and they occupied it for 400 years.
Although the mainland has long since recovered Macau and Portugal's strength is much weaker, we must not forget that it was the first Western country to invade the mainland.
Although the mainland has always adhered to peaceful and friendly foreign measures, in the course of historical development, there will always be some countries that come to harass us for no reason, and the above six countries are countries with blood debts with the mainland, and now with the increasing strength of the mainland, these countries are gradually declining in the development of the times.
Like Britain, Portugal and France have long retreated to the world's second-rate powers, and the proud and domineering style of the Americans has gradually made them lose popular support, Russia has undergone the reorganization of the Soviet era, and today's Russian strength is not as strong as before, and Japan has long been limited in military power after World War II.
When the continent rose, these countries no longer dared to invade the continent as they did a hundred years ago. Although these retributions came late, they were indeed very happy. I don't know what do you think about this?
