My awesome map of Ming and Qing China

POV of Qianlong's Letter

Qianlong's letter has a condescending tone. It has a condescending tone because the emperor was surrounded by eunuchs saying he is the best and because of his belief that China was economically self sufficient that did not need to associate with foreigners.

Why history has zero predictive value

Based on Ronak's blog post, he predicted incorrectly about the duration AND populations of the Ming AND Qing dynasties. Roank believed that because there was a trend of a dynasty with a long period followed by a short lived dynasty, he thought that this trend would continue. However, it did not because both the Ming and Qing dynasties had similar durations. For populations, he predicted steady population growth based on previous populations of dynasties. However, he predicted wrongly because the populations of the Qing especially increased rapidly.

Rachel believed that because of trade increasing with Europe, then innovation would also increase. However, this was completely incorrect because the Ming and Qing dynasties shunned innovation.

My Prediction

My prediction below was correct.

Political & Economic Change in the Ming & Qing China

Political

The Ming & Qing will continue to look inwards to its domestic affairs rather than foreign affairs. There will still be dynastic imperial monarchy and a bureaucracy to choose officials.

Economic

Both dynasties will continue to look inward and therefore there will be not so much economic innovation because there is a lack of foreign influence.
