Evaluating Forms of Economic Intervention in 19th-Century China
A historian argues: 'The foreign control of strategic ports in 19th-century China was a more damaging form of economic intervention than formal colonization would have been, as it crippled the state's economic authority without providing any of the administrative or infrastructural frameworks a colonial power might have built for its own purposes.' Evaluate this argument. Justify your position by considering the impacts on the Chinese government's ability to make independent economic decisions and foster national development.
