Stitch, the term "sick man of East Asia" as applied to China gained its highest popularity starting with the second Opium War and culminating in the Allied intervention during the Boxer rebellion, after which China was effectively partitioned into "satellite" economic regions by the 10 (or was it 12?) Allied Powers. OT, the Opium wars were in fact motivated by Britain's desire to reverse the trade imbalance with China. The Allied intervention in the Boxer Rebellion was seen as a golden opportunity by the Allied Powers to gain free access to the huge China market. Things have not really changed much, eh <gg>?
