What were the consequences of imperialism in China? What were the consequences of imperialism in China?

Imperialism

the Japanese empires, I believe, gave rise to the communist movement under Mao-Tse-Tung, or at
least gave it momentum and opportunity.  In this way we can say that modern communist China is a
direct result of imperialist wars and policies in the 1800s and 1900s.
