• I've copyedited the article quite a bit. The hook needs copyediting for grammar and flow as well. How about:

• ALT2 ... that during the Boxer Rebellion, Xu Yingkui collaborated with other high-ranking Chinese officials to defy the declaration of war made by the Qing imperial court on Western countries? -Zanhe (talk) 18:50, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
• Thanks a lot. Your hook is better, it puts the emphasis on what's more important in his life. ----Sunzhai (talk) 20:03, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and referenced. ALT2 (a variation of ALT0) is neutral and verified with sources. QPQ is done. No copyvio issues. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 22:45, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
