What are the manifestations of the weak military strength in the Qing Dynasty?

First, China was backward in science and technology in the late Qing Dynasty, especially in military science and technology. The emperors of the Qing Dynasty never paid attention to the development of science and technology, but they were also afraid of the development of science and technology among the people. Therefore, during the Qing Dynasty, the development of firearms in China was stagnant and the people were ignorant.

The second is the backward economic model. After the Qing Dynasty took over China, it abandoned some industrial development models in the late Ming Dynasty, and the whole country returned to the agricultural economy. At the same time, it suppressed the germination of capitalism and led to the retrogression of the economic model.

The third is the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government. From the late Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, corruption prevailed, and the government acted with bribes, brutally suppressed peasant uprisings at home, humiliated the country and ceded land for compensation.
