Yeah, a lot has happened since 1840. Two world wars. During the second of which the British and the USA were allied with China against Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese war. After which of course Mao Zedong came into power and orchestrated the death of upwards of 45 million of his own countrymen through famine and murder.

Yeah, good thing China "has nuclear". /s
