Description

The Qing Dynasty was the last of the conquest dynasties to rule China. Its rulers, Manchus from the north, held power for three centuries despite major cultural and ideological differences with the Han majority. This text looks at the success of this dynasty and argues that it derived not from the assimilation of the dominant Chinese culture but from a synthesis of Manchu leadership styles with Han Chinese policies.
