The first is the fierce struggle of China people against foreign aggression, such as the opium eradication in Humen, the resistance to Britain in Sanyuanli, the struggle against foreign invaders in the Second Opium War, the struggle of Taiwan Province people against Japanese occupation after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and the successive anti-Westernization struggles and Boxer Rebellion in various places. China people's strong determination and will to safeguard national dignity and resist foreign aggression made the powers realize that China is not easy to carve up, nor can it be carved up, and even if it is carved up, it will be difficult to stand on its feet.

Second, the contradictions between major powers cannot be reconciled. They all have their own small plans for China, and they all want to keep their best interests and the biggest sphere of influence. However, due to their ulterior motives, their attempts to contain each other and carve up each other could not be realized. At the same time, facing the resistance of China people, the great powers also realized that maintaining the Qing court as a tool could bring them the greatest political and economic benefits.

The third is the change of the world situation. At that time, the contradictions among European countries were sharp, and the economic crisis led to the outbreak of various contradictions at the same time. The first world war is already brewing, and European countries are shrouded in the cloud of war, and war is imminent. The powers were busy carving up China.
