5. Which are the most important turning points in the Chinese history?

  1911 Revolution to become a Republic, and 1949 second revolution to take over the destiny of China by the communists.

I would agree with all of the above except for #5,

Here's why:

If we are talking about Modern China then 1911 and 1949 are correct...but if we look at what began those two iconic moments in Chinese history you need to go back to the 1st and 2nd Opium Wars.  I believe those events were truly what began to change China into what it has become. 

Just my opinion since this last question could have many answers since it is really so open ended.

Very interesting view point, I will definitely look into it, to see how the the Opium pushers and dealers wars, forged the mind of the Chinese almost 100 years after to give birth to the Chinese republic , indeed it looks logical, even though it was slow...

Read the book "The Opium War" by Julia Lovell  it's one of the best books on this topic and written from a very neutral POV
