China ÄÚÈݼò½é

¡¡¡¡The Chinese people have created a splendid civilization during a long process of historical evolution£¬ from Da Yu's control of the floods to the "four great inventions"£¬ and from the legend of Chang'e flying to the moon to the successful flight of China's first manned spacecraft. While the ancient civilizations of Babylon£¬ Egypt and India fell to invasion or other disasters£¬ Chinese civilization never paused and has developed and continued to this day. Today£¬ China has become the world's second largest economy with a GDP of RMB80 trillion. When we look back into history£¬ however£¬ we saw a corrupt and weak Qing Dynasty £¨1644-1911£© signing the Treaty of Nanking after losing the First Opium War £¨1839-1842£© to Britain£¬ once a "small barbarian state" in the eyes of the Qing ruler£¬ which had become the world's biggest power at the time with its industrialization drive. The Treaty of Nanking£¬ which ended the First Opium War after two years£¬ was the first unequal treaty signed between China and Western powers in modern history. It was only the beginning of a series of unequal treaties resulting in the occupation of some 1.8 million sq km of Chinese land by foreign powers£¬ which cut up the vast territories of China for their own use. With the birth of the CPC in July 1921£¬ China embarked on a new path of development.
