What two main reasons kept china from becoming highly industrialized?

1) Western Imperialism: Western powers (Britain, France, and the United States) imposed unequal trade treaties on China, which undermined its economy and limited its ability to develop its own industries.

2) Internal Turmoil: China experienced a series of internal conflicts, including the Opium Wars, the Taiping Rebellion, and the Boxer Rebellion, which disrupted economic growth and hindered industrial development.
