In China though Puyi had already been overthrown once
Twice actually, there was restoration attempt in 1917 which immediately failed and only proven how incredibly unpopular he and his dynasty was. Unlike Romanovs which had entire armies of more or less honest followers, nobody in China wanted Qing back.
Agreed. I understand why the people who made the decision and carried out the murders did so and I think that given the context and what information they had available their decision is understandable. I wouldn’t have ordered it, but I cannot judge them for doing so.
