In other words, your challange is to have either the British Monarch or a Member of the British Royal Family declare themselves and rule as Emperor of China, similar to how Queen Victoria declared herself Empress of India in OTL. Good Luck

yeah. more soldiers though. greater man power.Aside from pride, the British wouldn't get that much more out of China that they weren't already getting out of India.
The Limeys wouldn't be the first Foreign Devils to set up a Dynasty in China.
First to rule from thousands of miles away, first to refuse to adopt the local culture, first to run local industries and handicrafts into the ground with imports of cheap British manufactures, first Monotheists trying to push the locals into abandoning their gods and ancestors with the protection of the state behimd them, first to close parks to dogs and Chinese....I could go on.

Oh, by all means, continue.They would not be the first foreign dynasty though; Mongols as Yuan and Manchu as Qing.
B Munro essentially says it all. However, could one conceivably see the British monarch, or a Chinese puppet emperor ruling southern China and the area around Hong Kong in a manner similar to what they Japanese Empire did with Puyi and Manchukou?
yeah. more soldiers though. greater man power.
How much more do they need? India was already a ripe recruiting ground for vast numbers of soldiers.
