Napoleon said that China was a sleeping lion.

Napoleon said this after listening to Amish's description of China. "China is a sleeping lion. When he wakes up, the world will tremble!" But this is only the first part, and the most essential sentence in the second half is "Thank God! Let him sleep. " At that time, the closed-door policy of the Qing Dynasty completely blocked the communication with the world, so Napoleon hoped that the Qing Dynasty would continue like this and not "wake up". In fact, this is also his mockery of the backwardness and complacency of the Qing Dynasty. But I have to admit, Napoleon's wish failed, and the lion China woke up!
