1. Throughout history, we will find that the Ming Dynasty was actually much stronger than the Qing Dynasty. Although the court in the late Ming Dynasty was very corrupt, if the Ming Dynasty had not perished, 1, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court was basically decadent, even if there was no Qing Dynasty, Li Zicheng and others. It is impossible to continue to develop. In the decades before the Ming dynasty, that is, during the Wanli period, the seeds of capitalism appeared in the south of the Ming dynasty, but they could not develop. Why? There are two reasons. First of all, there is no maritime trade. The most prosperous period of China's maritime trade in Ming Dynasty was Jiajing, but there was the famous Hu Zongxian. Second, with the development of capitalism, farmers have lost their land. In Britain, in this case, a large number of proletarians entered the city to work, which provided a large number of labor for the development of capitalism. But in China, these proletarians got together and formed hooligans. Have a negative impact on society.

2, how far China can go, this topic is hard to say, I think if there is no external force, when spiritual wealth can't meet people's needs at all, that is to say, when spiritual wealth and material wealth are completely out of proportion, China will be in turmoil.
