An China AHC

Here's an interesting AHC. With a post-1750 POD, have the 2015 China of TTL be about as similar (culture, values, government, people, landscape...) to the China of 1750 as the 2015 United Kingdom of OTL is similar to 1750 Great Britain. You can define that however you want.

Lots of bonus points if China still has around the same geopolitical role it has IRL.

Since the 2015 UK is a lot more technologically advanced (and conversely, polluted), but also more liberal, you could probably just have a modernized!Qing Timeline...
