There was a fair amount of inflation and townspeople who were under pressure and hostile from the corrupt government. Students were resentful towards foreign influence and the failure of the dynasty to bring about effective reforms.]]> 2017-01-26 15:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hudsonmatias2018/l6pzvp9m9nkk/wish/149620406 hudsonmatias2018 https://padlet.com/hudsonmatias2018/l6pzvp9m9nkk/wish/149862566 The country was divided into "spheres of influence". Resentment of foreign influence provoked the Boxer Rebellion in 1898. In the early 20th century, peasents were struggling, townspeople were under pressure, and students were resentful of foreign influence Sun Yat Sen managed to bring together these divisions in a revolutionary uprising. After 1949, the revolutionaries became the ruling class. The Communist Party cadres became the new upper class. The misuse and manipulation of the ration system by members of the cadre class threatened to change them into a new class of privileged bureaucrats and technicians, mere descendants of the pre-revolutionary ruling class of cadre technocrats and selected representatives of the old proletariat. Whereas in the past, their position had been accessed primarily through acceptance to the best schools, now cadre status came to give them access to materials and options not fairly distributed amongst all. Housing had always been in demand in China, particularly in the larger cities, and cadres were protected from the intense competition for living space.]]> 2017-01-27 13:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hudsonmatias2018/l6pzvp9m9nkk/wish/149862566 hudsonmatias2018 https://padlet.com/hudsonmatias2018/l6pzvp9m9nkk/wish/149862581 China had endured 100 years of humiliation by foreigners after it's defeat in the Opium Wars of 1939-42 and 1856-60.

Like previous dynasties, the Qing recruited officials via the imperial examination system, until the system was abolished in 1905. The Qing divided the positions into civil and military positions, each having nine grades or ranks, each subdivided into a and b categories. Civil appointments ranged from an attendant to the emperor or a Grand Secretary in the Forbidden City to being a prefectural tax collector, deputy jail warden, deputy police commissioner, or tax examiner. Military appointments ranged from being a field marshal or chamberlain of the imperial bodyguard to a third class sergeant, corporal or a first or second class private.]]> 2017-01-27 13:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hudsonmatias2018/l6pzvp9m9nkk/wish/149862625 hudsonmatias2018 https://padlet.com/hudsonmatias2018/l6pzvp9m9nkk/wish/150271418 3 Tweets
