"We" as in the nation or government? And it wasn't 2 centuries ago. We were colonizing china up until 1949.
People truly do not understand how much "we" ( as in the US and imperial europe ) screwed over china. I bet not 1 in a 1000 americans knows that the US were imperial colonizers in china even after ww2.
