In the Qing Dynasty of China, the supreme ruler Empress Dowager Cixi said: Measure China's material and financial resources, and give as much as you can, as long as you can win the favor of other countries. The reason why Cixi issued this edict was that as long as her Qing government was not dissolved, she would give as much gold, silver, jewelry, agate, and land as she wanted, and many countries at that time had obtained huge wealth in China.
