Question: Are backward countries destined to be beaten up (by others) ?
The view 'backward countries will be beaten up' is often taught (main stream) in Mainland China in the content of modern China history (modern era: from late Qing Dynasty). Do you agree with this view?
If you agree, what can backward countries do to avoid getting beaten?

Backward countries do get beaten up. look at the way the US bombs shithole countries like syria somalia and afghanistan with inpunity.
Japan also faced this problem as a backwards, closed nation in the 1800s. They too could have had a fate like the Qing dynasty did, refused to modernise and end up letting the western colonial powers treat them like a doormat.
Instead, Japan chose to industrialise and westernise as quickly as possible into a major world power that quickly defeated China and Russia in two subsequent wars.
Good governance and a willingness to reform and modernise are crucial for development and to avoid getting beaten up.

The word " backward " is a typical ccp form of language . Let's use the Third World Countries instead; Yes, they are vulnerable but destined to be beaten up? Not necessarily
Third world countries are all the other countries that did not pick a side. This includes most of Africa, Asia and Latin America. However, this definition includes countries that are economically stable, which does not fit the currently accepted definition of a third world country.
As a society, the term “third world country” refers to countries with high mortality rates, especially infant mortality rates. They also have an unstable and inconsistent economy. These are countries that contain massive amounts of poverty and in some cases have fewer natural resources than other nations throughout the world. These countries often have to rely on more industrialized countries to aid them and help stabilize their economy.
These countries usually lack economic stability because of the lack of a functioning class system. Usually, the country will have an upper class and a lower class. Without a middle class to fill the gap, there is almost no way for a person to escape poverty because there is no next step for them on the economic ladder. This also allows the wealthy to control all the money in the country. This is detrimental to the economy of the country, and both increases and helps to sustain the poverty running rampant throughout the country while allowing the upper class to keep their wealth to themselves.
These countries often accrue a copious amount of debt from foreign countries because of the constant aid they need from other countries to keep their economy afloat and provide some financial stability to the citizens of the country.
The definition of a third world country has evolved from the political meaning during the Cold War to the economic meaning of today. Today’s meaning refers to countries that are in financial trouble and need help from other countries to keep their economy sustainable, at least for a short time.

Many countries in the world are considered as backwards: many third world countries (small or large land size). But i don't see MOST of them getting "beaten up" (I think this means war, famine, poverty etc) In fact, when there are wars, famine etc, plenty of rich countries are willing to send money, doctors/nurses, cheap loans to help.
Eg Fiji is not a 1st world country., but many people wants to go there for holiday, is it getting beaten up? No
