What was the process of India becoming a colony? Is it completely reduced to this? If so, why isn't China a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country?

The British first established many trading strongholds along the coast and established the famous East India Company. Then they used force as the backing and economic aggression as the main means to provoke conflicts among various tribes and ethnic groups in India. Gradually encroaching inland. After more than a hundred years of expansion, India has finally become the brightest diamond in the Queen's crown. India became Britain's largest overseas colony.

China is different from India.

1. Chinese people have a high degree of identity with their country. People who are thousands of kilometers apart and have completely different looks and customs are proud to be Chinese. In India, the problem can be seen in the domestic ethnic and racial conflicts that are still entangled to this day.

2. Before 1945, India had no central government that could effectively govern the country (the jurisdiction of the Mughal Dynasty was very limited, and most of the areas were still autonomous states). China has an old but still effective management system, and the central government still has effective jurisdiction over the country.

3. As the saying goes - if you want to cure people, you must first cure their hearts. India's long-term state of division has prevented the country from forming an effective ideological system, which has allowed British cultural colonization to be realized. Don't you see, the official language of India is English now, and the upper class is still proud of living a British life? This fundamentally blocks the emergence of Indian resistance consciousness. In China, the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius for five thousand years have been deeply rooted and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is tantamount to wishful thinking for the West to replace it with their ideological system in just over a hundred years.

My humble opinion, for reference only
