A 1500-words Chinese History Assignment

A 1500-words essay needs to be written on the below-mentioned topic. The referencing style is Harvard. 1500 words are without the Bibliography. Title : “Foreigners Changing China, 1850-1980” In the period between 1850 and 1980, China went through enormous changes in a large number of areas, including politics, economics, language, culture and society. Many of these changes were in one way or other related to the influence of foreign countries, including Britain, Japan, Russia (and later the Soviet Union), Germany and the USA. In this essay you should focus on one specific area in which foreign influence has been important (e.g. literature, politics, industry, trade, the position of women etc.). You should discuss and evaluate the changes that took place in that specific area. Were they all positive changes, aiding China’s progress and development, or were there negative elements as well? Were there alternatives for the choices made? Was the foreign influence a direct influence (“copying”) or a mediated one? You are advised to limit your topic and the time period you discuss as much as possible. The work has to be of high quality and should be completed by 23rd April.
