Question

japan and china had to cede land to the americans.
both china and japan were able to learn a lot from western nations.
both china and japan were forced to sign unequal treaties.
both japan and china were forced to carry the cost of shipwrecked sailors.

Explanation:

During the era of imperialism, Western powers imposed unequal - treaties on both China and Japan. China had a series of unequal treaties like the Treaty of Nanjing, and Japan had the Treaty of Kanagawa. Ceding land was mainly a Chinese experience (e.g., Hong Kong to Britain), learning from Western nations was more of a post - unequal - treaty development for Japan, and the cost of shipwrecked sailors was not a common major experience for both.

Answer:

C. Both China and Japan were forced to sign unequal treaties.
