There isn't any major Chinese capital. China could barely afford to keep its lights on, let alone invest elsewhere.

Is it at all possible to get a Russo-Qing alliance? Or is it impossible? I want to get a Qing- alliance. I have many backups, but Russia I think could work.

You'd need a whole different latter half of the 19th century. If Russia gets really rolled in the Crimean War and can't afford any eastern adventures then Russia might be more inclined to have a friendly Qing. But if Russia is pursuing its historic policy, its goal is to just keep extracting gains from a weakening China because its easy, cheap, and keeps it out of the hands of your competitors.

I like this idea man. So the Pod could be after the Crimean war, was Russia loses a lot more badly, and maybe A Tsar that has respect for the Asian race, and the Qing monarch, Russian, and Qing people having cultural interests, and friendships together. If we can nail down a POD that would be really good, this alliance can work, then we can go farther into the future.
