Rethinking the Qing Empire and the Ocean—New Book Talk on The blue frontier: maritime vision and power in the Qing Empire 2024/11/16
14:00-15:30

The Qing Empire had a coastline stretching nearly 14,500 kilometers, meaning geographically it was not an inland empire and was not always solely focused on internal affairs. In fact, from the late 17th century onward, the Qing Empire gradually entered the maritime world through the development of coastal militarization and sea navigation. To truly understand the Qing Empire's maritime power, we must break free from traditional ideological determinism and stop viewing the empire through such a narrow lens. At the same time, we need to abandon the overly simplistic view that the Qing Empire's approach to the maritime world was the root cause of its defeats on the battlefield in the 19th century.
