The horrors of war have affected nearly every part of the globe throughout history, but China has seen more than its share of bloody combat. 
Of the 10 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_by_death_toll">most damaging wars</a> in history based on combatant and civilian deaths, five started in China. This does not even include the horrors that China faced during World War II, when parts of China suffered under <a href="http://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21579797-how-struggle-against-japans-brutal-occupation-shaped-modern-china-start-history">an incredibly brutal Japanese occupation</a>.
China wars often stemmed from internal revolts and might have influenced modern China's heavy-handed approach to internal dissent. Indeed, Beijing's heavy emphasis on order and societal peace in particular could shed light on <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hong-kong-police-warn-protesters-against-occupying-government-buildings-2014-10">the current tumult in Hong Kong</a>, where protesters have demonstrated against the central government's attempts to strip the territory's autonomy.

As the rebellion gained speed and approached Beijing, a series of smaller peasant revolts broke out through the rest of China. 
By 1644, the Qing were in control of Beijing. However, southern China and Taiwan <a href="http://etcweb.princeton.edu/asianart/timeperiod_china.jsp?ctry=China&amp;pd=Qing">rebelled</a> against Qing authority and sided with Ming loyalists.
It took until 1683 - nearly another 40 years - for the Qing to establish their authority throughout China. During this time, almost 25 million people died in the hostilities. 
<h3>2. The Taiping Rebellion </h3>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div>1850 to 1864, with an estimated 20 million casualties
The <a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/580815/Taiping-Rebellion">Taiping Rebellion</a> was a Christian millenarian movement aimed at unseating the Qing Dynasty. The rebellion, led by Hong Xiuquan, took the major Chinese city of Nanjing as its capital. At the height of the rebellion, Hong and his Taiping Heavenly Kingdom ruled over 30 million people. 
The rebellion focused on social reform, demanding the abolition of foot-binding and land socialization and opposing strict gender separation. Hong also claimed he was Jesus' little brother. His army, which was made of largely irregular forces, scored a number of victories through brutal methods and religious zeal.
The rebellion took an estimated <a href="http://afe.easia.columbia.edu/special/china_1750_taiping.htm">20 million lives</a>, and the French and British eventually had to intervene to help the Qing restore order.
<h3>3. The An Lushan Rebellion </h3>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div>755-763, with casualties estimated at 13 million
The An Lushan Rebellion was sparked when General <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Lushan" title="An Lushan">An Lushan</a> declared himself emperor of Northern China, which was directly opposed to the leading Tang Dynasty. This conflict <a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/22126/An-Lushan/280/An-Lushans-rebellion">lasted</a> through the reigns of three Tang emperors before ending in 763 with the fall of the Yan Dynasty that An Lushan had created.
The war had a lasting impact on the economic and social systems, and a million people died from the mass starvation and diseases the conflict triggered.
<h3>4. The Dungan Revolt</h3>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div>1862-1877, with an estimated 10 million casualties
The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungan_Revolt_%281862%E2%80%9377%29" target="_blank">Dungan Revolt</a>, also referred to as the "Hui Minorities' War" and the "Muslim Rebellion," was a mainly religious uprising that overlapped with the Taiping Rebellion by two years.
The main goal of this war was to establish a Muslim country near the western bank of the Yellow River. When the revolt failed, there was a mass exodus of Dungan people into Imperial Russia.
<h3>5. The Chinese Civil War </h3>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div>1927-1950, with casualties estimated at 7.5 million
Without a signed peace treaty, there is still some debate about whether the Chinese Civil War between the Republic of China and the Communist Party of China ever legally ended because the nationalist forces fled to Taiwan and established a competing government. 
Lasting <a href="https://history.state.gov/milestones/1945-1952/chinese-rev">more than 20 years</a>, the conflict led to the creation of the Republic of China (in Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China (in mainland China), with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Civil_War" target="_blank">both claiming to be the sole legitimate government</a> of China. 
Meanwhile, as the US prepared to entered the Korean War, <a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/291225/20th-century-international-relations/32937/The-Chinese-civil-war#ref304580" target="_blank">President Harry Truman announced</a> goals for a "strong, united, and democratic China" and ordered the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Seventh_Fleet" target="_blank">Navy's Seventh Fleet</a> into the region. But by 1954, opposing armies disbanded and the Chinese Civil War began to fade.

The controversial founder of Evergrande sent a voice note to executives after a rumor about his death swirled, report says

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A Chinese couple has been accused of trying to establish a mini-state in the Marshall Islands.</li><li>Cary Yan and Gina Zhou were charged for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.</li></ul>A Chinese couple was arrested and indicted on Friday for what the Department of Justice described as a "multi-year scheme" to try to, among other things, establish an autonomous mini-state in the Marshall Islands, a former US territory. According to <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/us-attorney-announces-extradition-two-defendants-charged-bribing-high-level-officials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a DOJ press release on Friday</a>, Cary Yan, 50, and Gina Zhou, 34, are accused of money laundering and violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.The indictment of Yan and Zhou outlines allegations from prosecutors of how the pair had posed as officers linked to a non-governmental organization in New York City and tried to bribe Marshall Islands officials while in US territory. According to the filing, the NGO also held a "special consultative status" with the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs from around 2016 to 2018.The Marshall Islands are a former US territory that <a href="https://history.state.gov/countries/marshall-islands" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gained independence in 1986</a> and is known for the Bikini Atoll, a coral reef where the US <a href="https://maritime-executive.com/article/video-bikini-atoll-70-years-later">tested nuclear weapons</a> following World War II. The US still maintains "full authority and responsibility" for the Marshall Islands' defense, per the <a href="https://www.state.gov/u-s-relations-with-marshall-islands/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">State Department.</a>According to the couple's <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/press-release/file/1532731/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indictment</a>, they had taken meetings in New York in an attempt to carve out a semi-autonomous region, akin to Hong Kong, in an area called the Rongelap Atoll. This autonomous region would allow Yan, Zhou, and their organization to bring in investors to work on economic and social projects, which they said would take place in the region. Prosecutors said Yan and Zhou floated this idea of the "Rongelap Special Economic Zone," while offering cash bribes to try to influence Marshall Islands legislators to create the zone.The Marshall Islands is, coincidentally, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/marshall-islands-says-strongly-committed-taiwan-ties-2022-03-22/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">known to be a pro-Taiwan state</a>. It is also <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/marshall-islands-says-strongly-committed-taiwan-ties-2022-03-22/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one of the only 14 countries</a> that have formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan — which China claims is a renegade province.The DOJ in its press release said Yan and Zhou were arrested in Thailand in November 2020. They were later extradited and arrived in the Southern District of New York on Friday. They are due in court on Tuesday. DOJ attorney Damian Williams <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/us-attorney-announces-extradition-two-defendants-charged-bribing-high-level-officials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Yan and Zhou's bribery scheme was "designed to influence and manipulate the legislative process" in the Marshall Islands to reap financial benefit for themselves and their associates while violating "the integrity of democratic processes."Meanwhile, FBI assistant director Michael J. Driscoll said in the press release that Yan and Zhou had "conducted multiple illegal activities to benefit their personal interests at the expense of the people of the Marshall Islands."The DOJ said in a separate statement that the couple each faces a maximum of 20 years in prison for every count of money laundering, and up to five years in prison for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

And this December is going to be wilder than ever. In 2018 there were record-highs in <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/truck-driver-shortage-price-increase-amazon-prime-hersheys-2018-11">freight rates</a> because of an expanding <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/truck-driver-shortage-staffing-industry-problems-2018-9">truck driver shortage</a> and an increased demand to move goods. Adding to that, companies who operate in China are freaking out over a bevy of tariffs that will be implemented in January 2019 thanks to President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-china-trade-war-all-the-industries-hurt-by-us-tariffs-2018-11">trade war with China</a>. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lidia-yan-b3b47110/">Lidia Yan</a>, co-founder and CEO of Southern California freight brokerage company <a href="https://www.nexttrucking.com">NEXT Trucking</a>, works with retailers like Steve Madden, Sharp, and Hitachi - all of whom have operations in China."We are looking forward to a very big December, probably the biggest December ever," Yan told Business Insider.Yan said her clients, who are matched with truck drivers via NEXT, are shipping over as much as possible before Jan. 1, when <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-china-trade-war-list-of-goods-tariffs-2018-9">an import tax of 25% on $200 billion of goods</a> from China will go into effect.

Particularly for those in the Port of Los Angeles or Port of Long Beach, where much of China's imports are shipped across the ocean, logistics folks are handling huge amounts of goods. Already, Yan said nearly all 36,000 warehouses in Southern California are full. "Most retailers are trying to squeeze in as much volume as possible to avoid the tariff in 2019," Yan said.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">DAT Solutions; Andy Kiersz/Business Insider</div></div></div>DAT Solutions, the go-to for freight rate information, doesn't have a solid estimate for how much prices will spike in December. But Peggy Dorf, a market analyst at DAT, told Business Insider that shipping rates, which reached record highs this year, will continue to climb in December.Along with tariffs, Dorf said e-commerce is helping to push up rates. Online ordering is expected to jump 16% this holiday season."The demand is constant and it's constantly growing," Dorf said. "Free shipping makes it even more intense."While convenient for customers, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-prime-free-two-day-shipping-best-perk-survey-2018-7">free shipping</a> and online shopping can be nightmarish for those on the supply chain side. Companies can't predict exactly how many people will buy online and people often don't consolidate their orders. So, retailers have to get last-minute, often pricey trucking service to ensure orders arrive on time.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/truck-driver-shortage-staffing-industry-problems-2018-9">The US has a major truck driver shortage - but the co-founder of a trucking startup that's attracted $80 million in funding says there are 3 other issues that are making the shortage seem worse than it is</a>And thanks to the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/truck-driver-pay-shortage-five-digit-bonus-jobs-2018-11">general chaos of transportation in 2018</a>, many retailers haven't even ensured that their goods are in warehouses, distribution centers, or stores. <a href="https://www.dat.com/industry-trends/trendlines/van/demand-and-capacity">In June 2018,</a> there were 9.9 van loads for every available truck, compared to 5.6 van loads per truck in 2017 and 2.9 in 2016."It used to be everything was already in position long before the end of November," Dorf said.

Fretful over incoming tariffs, retailers are ordering 'unprecedented volumes' to West Coast warehouses

<div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right"><div class="image">AP Photo/Vincent Yu, FileAlthough one of the most cosmopolitan areas, Hong Kong's gay community remains largely underground.</div></div>The Confucian desire to be a dutiful son or daughter can lead to horrible therapies.
In 2011 Lin Yan attended the Chuanwei Psychological Counselling Centre in Shenzhen, a southern city. Worried that his parents would not accept his homosexuality, Mr Lin, who was then 24 (and now uses a pseudonym), spent $1,700 on three months of so-called "conversion therapy".
He was shown sexualised images of men and induced to vomit by an injected drug. Other techniques included what he describes as "mental torture". A counsellor would repeat that his family would never forgive him and that being gay was immoral. He endured electric shocks.
 Mr Lin's treatment may be abhorrent but it is far from uncommon in China's big cities. The country declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder in 2001. Today urban centres harbour vibrant gay scenes and even hold cautious gay-pride festivals. There are over 100 support groups around the country. But the idea that homosexuality is a curable disease prevails in rural areas and among older generations.
Almost all young people come under pressure to provide an heir, a basic tenet, influenced to a certain extent by Confucianism, that leads some young people to feel their homosexuality must be unfilial. Zhang Beichuan of Qingdao University, in east-central China, reckons that four-fifths of young gay men in China end up marrying women. Those in such predicaments are drawn to clinics which offer counselling to gay people and services including what is often touted as a "cure". Enrolling in such schemes can cost $5,000 or more--a fortune for most Chinese.
 Elsewhere in the world, therapies that purport to turn gay, lesbian or bisexual people into heterosexuals have been discredited. The American Psychiatric Association says undergoing such treatment risks depression, anxiety and self-destructive behaviour. The United Kingdom Council for Pyschotherapy calls the practice unethical.
 In China, where conversion clinics have operated for decades, there has been no such outcry from medical or official bodies. In December LGBT Rights Advocacy China, a non-profit organisation in Beijing, staged a small protest outside one clinic. The group's members held signs saying: "homosexuality is not an illness".
They sent 20 letters to the health bureaus of ten cities with details of clinics offering what they say are illegal services. No one has written back. Clinics need special licences to administer physical treatments such as electric shocks, says Mr Zhang. Few of them have the proper paperwork.
 They also lack proper professional standards. A counsellor at the Nanjing Urban Psychological Counselling Centre says he uses hypnosis to uncover the "root cause of the homosexual tendency" in childhood memories. A statement on the clinic's website says that boys born into families with a strong female presence are more likely to be gay. Alternative medicine or electrotherapy is administered to create an aversion. The counsellor claims a 70% success rate.
 Mr Lin counts himself a fortunate failure. He spent all his savings on his treatment and suffered anxiety, insomnia, weight and hair loss. But he remained gay. Seeing no alternative, he came out to his parents. It has taken his mother months to come to terms with his sexuality. Eventually she joked that if her son was to bring a boyfriend home, he should at least be rich and handsome.
