Who colonized China?
England, So iets, US, and the CCP
Edit - I tend to be more of a Han Chinese sympathizer before the CCP made their moves post WW2
I think you're forgetting the time frame of the discussion here. We're talking about the plague which happened in the late middle-ages. China was essentially the central power of Asia back then.
Plague was before mass European colonization started, right? France, England, Spain sea power came a good bit after if I remember correctly.
Kahn and the reign of the Steps came after China's major history. It certainly wasn't in shambles but well past the main kingdoms.
