Both the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 and the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 caused immense impacts on Chinese history and the current situation. The effects of the 1900 crisis and the 2020 crisis in China were both internal and external, domestic and international. Since the relevant research in the comparison and contrast of these two crises is scarce in whether their similarities and differences, this research will provide a comparative study of 1900 and 2020 Chinese Crises, exploring the ramifications and influences of these two tremendous ¡°catastrophes¡±. This paper will provide the context of the Chinese 1900 and 2020 Crises, the Chinese government¡¯s actions and responses to the plights in different stages, and the divergent consequences of these two paths. %K Crisis %K Boxer Rebellion %K Covid-19 %K Epidemic %K Consequence %K Foreign Influence %K Chinese Government %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=115967
