Something that has a tendency to show up in timelines is China being colonized by Europeans in the 19th century in pretty much the same fashion as the British colonized India, the Dutch Indonesia and the French Indochina, but having tried to have a go myself at it, I just cannot seem to get away with it.
Contrary to what I expected, it seems things aren't always as easy as going around and poking flags down into people's backyards.
So, some help please? I wish to have all of East China, South Central China and Southwest China in British and French hands, with bonus points if you manage to get Japan and Russia to carve out some handsome portions as well.
