I’m not really sure what argument you’re trying to make. Obviously the British had an impact on Chinese history at the time. How that directly leads to communism is again, unclear and contingent on a number of other factors, many of which could have easily been very different. I don’t see how one can argue for a direct link.

It seems exposure to western style business did cause this withdrawal. Sad truth is a democratic China is a lot easier for western capital to control remotely, hence the need to avoid this trap as long as the wise want to escape an updated form of recolonization.
