The Opium War loss was indeed the fault of the Chinese: Replying to: The limeys sold opium(grown in india) to china at great profit -- ChairmanMaoHamet Post ReplyForum -Corsair- 10/14/2017, 20:08:44 Author Profile | Edit Historical precedent - the conflicts with the Japanese, Dutch, and Portuguese as well as internal conflicts with Ming loyalists - demonstrated the need for a strong navy, yet this was largely ignored in early 19th-century China. BTW many Chinese voluntarily supported the British during BOTH opium wars, google "coolie corps" if you don't believe me.
