Instead of British Raj, we have a British Cháo in China (India can be either free ir colonized ITTL)
It can be both an AHC and a What If, please feel free to say whatever you want.
1) With the fall of Ming, Qing failed to take over, China broke up into several states, allowing the Brits to play "divide and conquer". ( you can think of other pods)
2) Where is the capital of British Cháo, and who is(are) the puppet Emperor(s)?
3) According to the British habit of classifying the conquered people into Martial Races and non-martial ones, who are the Martial Races in China?
4) Would Mongolia, Tibet be under British China just like British Indian Burma?
5) Classical Chinese or Spoken Chinese? Latinisation or Chinese Characters? Would the Lingua Franca of British China be English or one of the Chinese Dialects?
6) Would Chinese soldiers be used fight Britain's wars, just like Sikhs and Gujaratis?
7) What would be British Colonisers' opium policy?
8) Enforcing cash crops on the peasantry
9) Resistance. Chinese Queen of Jhansi? Chinese Gandhi? Who?
10) Would the famines be better or worse than OTL?
11) By the time of independence, Chinese perception of the British Cháo, who are going to miss them? Who are going to hate them?
12) Colonial Competitors. France? United States?
13) Impact on neighbours?
14) By independence, size of economy and size of territory as compared to OTL?
