What would China look like today if they modernized in the 19th century like Japan?

Let's say China collapsed in the early 19th century and became a bunch of warring states. One will eventually win and take over (let's call this one the Xiang or some shit) and they recognize that they need to modernize to compete with the Europeans.
If the Xiang got their shit together right then and there, reformed their government like Meiji Japan, and industrialized, then they'll be like giga-meiji japan.

Impressive.

With this most recent achievement, fate has in a single stroke, marked the decline of the west and spelled a new era of wondrous prosperity and peaceful global dominance for the Chinese dragon, which promises to firmly stand in sharp contrast to the historically bloody ascent of western powers and the cruel subjugation it brought to the humbler nations of the world. With the blessings of Chinese quantum direct-current electricity, quantum aircraft carriers and quantum enhanced railguns will be the instruments with which China affirms its noble stewardship of 21st century world politics and offers the non-western world a different option; an humanist alternative to the depredations of Western leadership and the opportunity for a more equitable and dignified multilateralism.

What I told you I am actually a western marxist-leninist subverting white society instead?
>>
>>18406915
Yes, we acknowledged you are aware that your existence is a net negative to whichever society has the misfortune to host you
>>
>>18406923
I am not genuine about ideology, only subversion. I am planning to move and live an interesting life so tell me what society you want subverted and I might entertain to go there.

China will eventually look like this

China wouldn't go on a conquering spree and most likely would be like the US in latin america using it's economic powers to influence its nations
