So, I'm contemplating the possibilities for a 19th century Asian PoD TL, and one of the major areas is naturally Qing China.

My main questions are: At what point would reforming the Qing dynasty become impossible, and would it be possible to make a mid-19th century China, Qing or non-Qing, into a great (or at least regional) power before the 20th century?
