China's golden age destroyed by BE? Bullshit! China was invaded by foreigners and established their empire known as Qing dynasty. Qing is not Chinese and forced chinese to wear the humiliating pigtails.
Only idiots think Qing is China's golden age. Chinese under Qing were 2nd class citizens as Manchu are the 1st class citizens. BE kick Qing is doing Chinese a favour and did what Chinese couldn't do.
