Explanation

Cixi became regent when her five-year-old son, Tongzhi, took the throne, and she remained a dominant ruler of the Qing Dynasty for about 47 years. During her rule, China undertook efforts to modernize its military. She did not put down the Boxer Rebellion; her court supported the Boxers before they were defeated by foreign forces. The Open Door policy was proposed by the United States, not established by Cixi.
