Helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries refers to the unprecedented aggravation of the national crisis, the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, and the failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. The boxer rebellion, a non-governmental organization, launched a patriotic movement against foreign forces and imperialism. In order to protect the country and defend the country, it put forward a slogan to help the Qing Dynasty destroy the foreign countries.

After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the great powers set off a frenzy to carve up China. With the deepening of the national crisis, China people's struggle against imperialist aggression is rising day by day. The anti-imperialist patriotic movement launched by the boxer rebellion, a non-governmental organization, reached its climax in Beijing and Tianjin in the spring and summer of 1900 under the banner of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries".

meaning

Facing the imperialist aggression against China, "destroying the foreign countries" has become the common demand of the people of China. This slogan reflects that the contradiction between the Chinese nation and imperialism at that time has become the main contradiction in China society. So this slogan is patriotic and progressive, but it is blind to some extent. The meaning of "Fuqing" needs to be analyzed from the boxer's proclamation.
