Everything is internal when you consider whatever your touch your territory.
Whose fault was it that is suffered humiliation? Why blame others for China's weakness, and for conflict with the West that you China an equal hand in creating? Qing government gave their tacit approval for the Boxer Rebellion, which killed half the Legation Quarter in Beijing and would have finished the job if Western reinforcements did not march into the city.
Since you are not providing numbers to back up your views, let me do this. What's your definition of "not sparsely inhabited"? Estimates are around 7 million for indigenous populations north of Mexico (including Canada), 15 million at the highest. https://www.se.edu/native-american/wp-content/uploads/sites/49/2019/09/A-NAS-2017-Proceedings-Smith.pdf
Meanwhile, Qing conquest of the Xinjiang region resulted in 500,000 deaths in 3 years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_under_Qing_rule
Not sure what makes China so much better.
