The Rise and Fall of the Dragon
1808 – China, ruled by Qing Dynasty (by Emperor Jia-Qing, a son of Qian-Long, who marked the peak of Qing Dynasty) then was a most prosperous nation in the world, with estimated 60% of the world GDP.
1908 – China, still ruled by Qing Dynasty then was a nation threatened by 8-Nations Alliance and sub-colonized by these nations, it’s the era marked with the fall of Dynasty Qing 3 years later when Pu-Yi was the last emperor.
2008 – Summer Olympics Games to be held in Beijing. Will the history repeat itself where 60% GDP of the world is from China, a nation with 1.3 billion population?
