    The Chinese Empire

    Explanation:

    Lord Macartney, a British envoy to China in the 19th century, described the Chinese empire as "an old, crazy, first-rate man of war" but because of incompetent leadership was destined to be dashed to pieces on the shore. He made this remark after a diplomatic struggle to establish an embassy at the court of the Emperor of Qianlong which failed. He noted that China had a potential due to its size and impact of its ancient culture but lacked good leadership which could result in its fall.
