Just in case you may wonder what can happen when NeoCon's sign "no-strings" free trade and "blank-check" foreign investment agreements with "enemies" in order to salvage their "allies" economies. Sooner, rather than later, said enemies not only own all of your debts and assets and territory and commodities and inhabitants. Brief history: 1839 -- 1842 -- "First Opium War" begins, Britain imposes unequal treaty on China and takes Hong Kong. August 29, 1842 -- "Treaty of Nanjing" signed ending the First Opium War; the first of the unequal treaties between China and foreign imperialist powers, provides extraterritorial rights to all foreigners in China -- they are no longer subject to Chinese law. 1856 -- 1860 -- Second Opium War begins; Britain and France defeat China and impose harsh Treaties of Tientsin. British, French, Americans, and Russians were permitted to install legations in Beijing, ten additional ports would be opened to foreign trade, foreigners would be permitted to travel through the interior, and reparations would be paid to Britain and France. In addition, the Russians signed the separate Treaty of Aigun which gave them coastal land in northern China. The defeat of its military by a much smaller Western army showed the weakness of the Qing Dynasty and began a new age of imperialism in China. February 12, 1873 -- U.S President Grant signs the Fourth Coinage Act (H. R. 2934) enacted by the United States Congress into law. Gold becomes the only metallic standard in the United States, hence putting the United States de facto on the gold standard and demonetizing silver. The Act had the immediate effect of depressing silver prices which Western mining interests, and others who wanted silver in circulation years later, labeled this measure the "Crime of '73″[1]. The U.S. did not actually adopt the gold standard de jure until 1900, following a lengthy period of debate that was made famous by William Jennings Bryan's cross of gold speech at the 1896 Democratic convention. By this time, most major nations had moved to a gold standard. The only major nation that continued on the silver standard into the 20th century was China. China and Hong Kong abandoned the silver standard in 1935. November 5, 1873 -- Canada's first Prime Minister, Conservative Sir John A. Macdonald, resigned due to allegations of bribery and corruption related to the Pacific Scandal when evidence and was revealed, by newspapers of the era, that Macdonald had received about $360,000 in election campaign funds for the 1872 federal election from railroad baron Sir Hugh Allan, who in turn for his help, was to be provided exclusive rights to build the Canadian Pacific transcontinental railroad. June 1900 -- U.S., British, Russian, French, Italian, and Japanese troops enter China to quell Boxer disturbances. June 21, 1900 -- Empress Dowager Cixi declares war against the foreign powers. July 1900 -- German Kaiser Wilhelm II sends fleet to Shandong China, urges them to take no prisoners like Attila and the Huns.
