I'm watching #55DaysInPeking (again) after a long hiatus & it's just as annoying now as when I 1st watched it.

While it has it's moments, it's reflective of the patronizing & racist way in which the #US film industry has depicted China & the Chinese people for nearly 100 years.

It was a blockbuster movie when it was released in 1963 & stars #CharlestonHeston, #AvaGardner & #DavidNiven & is set during the #BoxerRebellion in China during 1899-1901 which was a grass roots attempt to oust foreign "invaders" from China.

While it failed, the Boxer Rebellion is believed to have contributed to the fall of the Manchu (Ching) Dynasty & the formation of the Kuomingtang (Chinese Nationalist Party) that later fell to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) which then led to the formation of the #RepublicOfChina in Taiwan, which (of course) the CCP does NOT recognize & is just waiting to invade & retake in the name of China.

Worth watching in an historical film context but not otherwise.

The lead-ship of her class of six #protectedcruisers built for the #RoyalNetherlandsNavy, #HNLMSHolland was launched on 4 October 1896

Holland spent her career in the #NetherlandsEastIndies. During the #BoxerRebellion of 1900, along with other Dutch #warships, she safeguarded Dutch and European interests in Shanghai. She again safeguarded European citizens during the fall of Imperial China in 1911.

HNLMS Holland was decommissioned in 1920 #cruiser #warship #maritime https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/netherlands-protected-cruiser-holland/
