The opium wars, China has already awakened

The article discusses historical references to China's awakening and its impact on global affairs, drawing from the works of French politician Alain Peyrefitte. It mentions his book 'Cuando China despierte,' which includes Napoleon's quote about China's potential to shake the world. The piece also references Peyrefitte's later work 'El imperio inmóvil,' which explores the origins of the 'opium wars' following Lord Macartney's diplomatic mission to Beijing in 1793. The focus is on historical context rather than current events.
