	Imperialism in Asia
		Large areas of Asia, as well as Africa and other areas of the world, were subjected to imperial control by European nations, China, and Japan.
		British imperialism in 19th century China was also fostered by the mistaken belief that China would be a market for British manufactured goods (chiefly textiles) and the equally mistaken belief that the lack of Chinese interest in manufactured goods was due to governmental restrictions on trade.
		Chinese actions in Central Asia was aided by the fact that most of the local rulers there (particularly in Tibet) considered the relatively light control from the Chinese to be preferably to more direct control from Russia or the British.

		The new Imperialism differs from the older, first, in substituting for the ambition of a single growing empire the theory and the practice of competing empires, each motived by similar lusts of political aggrandisement and commercial gain; secondly, in the dominance of financial or investing over mercantile interests.
		Imperialism in the Far East is stripped nearly bare of all motives and methods save those of distinctively commercial origin.
		For Europe to rule Asia by force for purposes of gain, and to justify that rule by the pretence that she is civilising Asia and raising her to a higher level of spiritual life, will be adjudged by history, perhaps, to be the crowning wrong and folly of Imperialism.

		This, in turn, contributed to the exploitation of native populations and, as capitalist investors brought industry to the empire, the awakening of the native workers to their destiny under the Marxist scheme of economic development.
