* Decline: population pressure, the Opium Wars (1839-42, 1856-60), Taiping Rebellion (14+ million dead), unequal treaties, Boxer catastrophe; the 1911 Xinhai Revolution ended two millennia of imperial rule.
 
== Infrared usage ==
Haz's provocative classification of the Qing (with the Ottomans and Tsarist Russia) as examples of "actual socialism" — planned economies, state ownership of strategic sectors, anti-merchant regulation is deliberately scandalous against textbook definitions. Its function is [[Anglo Box]] demolition: if "socialism" means state command of the economy in service of social order rather than a specific 19th-century property doctrine, then the category must be rethought historically rather than definition-mongered (see [[We already live in socialism]], [[Ottoman Empire]]).

""The Qing Dynasty appears in Infrared streams mainly through Haz's Civil War geopolitics aside — and in his broader argument about non-Western ordered polities.

From the streams

  • On the Civil War's international alignments (TRUE RED PILL NEWS stream): "All the powers of Europe supported the Confederacy... You know who supported the Union? Russia did. The Ottoman Empire did." (Haz adds, tentatively, China under the Qing among the powers sympathetic to the Union.)
  • The deeper usage — the Qing as example that Western categories misclassify non-Western orders (granary systems, ever-normal storehouses, state management of strategic economy) — belongs to the same family as his Ottoman Empire discussions: pre-capitalist planned orders destroyed by colonial penetration, whose recovery is part of the anti-imperialist project (We already live in socialism).
