Document Summary

Context: chinese labour in north america for building railroads. Sometimes jobs that replaced need for african american slaves. By 1880s: 100k qing subjects (men) in usa. This quick movement of racialized ppl in europe & usa had consequences. Racism (i. e. usa: painting qing men as yellow, depicting them as rapists, chinese miners massacred by white colleagues in 1885 ) Discriminatory laws (i. e. decade-long chinese exclusion act, 1882) Prohibited immigration of chinese laborers; those already there were barred from daily life activities. China sends diplomats in 1871 to br and fr and 1878 to usa to look out for qing subjects" interests. Qing are dispr weak in battle; flagships keep sinking and burning within minutes. Meanwhile, british make burma a colony in 1886. However, after receiving american gunships they changed their domestic and foreign policies (trying to play catch-up and undergo cultural restoration) Japan was undergoing a coup/civil war; meanwhile in qing, still trying to retain monarchy.
