Okay, I've done all but 8 events for China. BTW I've redone Yakub beg and the Taiping Rebellion so don't use those old ones.
I've also done the most basic events for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Kashgaria and one event for Annam.
So here we go:

country = CHI
name = "The Opium Trade"
desc = "The 1830s saw a tremendous increase in the opium trade. There were several reasons: the end of the East India Company's monopoly and the rapid influx of British traders, the policy of expanding opium production in India, the new clipper ships which made speedier transportation possible, and the rapid extension of Western economic traffic farther east and north along the China coast. The opium trade and its size had far-reaching repercussions. It mobilized a large section of the population into actively breaking the law, and disabled scores of people as they became addicted. The trade also drained China's silver taels, and crippled the Chinese economy. It also contributed to the already present corruption of local government and police forces."

This did not sit well with the Guangzhou residents, who deeply despised the unruly English. In December 1847, six young Englishmen were mudered near Guangzhou. Qiying punished the offenders promptly and severely; several were beheaded in the presence of British officials. The emperor was not happy at Qiying's actions and was reprimanded for being over-friendly towards foreigners.

After that there was for a time comparative immunity from inundations, but in 1882 fresh outbursts again began. The most serious of all took place in 1887, when it appeared probable that there would be again a permanent change in the river’s course. By dint of great exertions, however, the government succeeded in closing the breach, though not till January 1889, and not until there had been immense destruction of life and property. These disasters were indication to the Chinese people that the Manchurians were losing the Mandate of Heaven, the right to rule and govern China."
