China is a former British colony. After the Third Opium War, the Qing Empire was cut up into Manchuria, which came to become a Japanese protectorate, Mongolia, and Uyghuristan, both of which fell to the Soviet sphere of influence. The remainder was given to European powers. Shanghai became an Anglo-American condominium, Macau fell to Portuguese rule, and the remainder became part of the British Empire.
