Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of China, Vol. 1 IT is unnecessary for me to detain the reader with any lengthy remarks by way of introduction to this history. The Chinese Empire presents for our con sideration one of the most complicated of existing problems; and the subject is of growing rather than waning importance. In 'dealing with its history we are not discussing the fortunes of some Empire that has long disappeared, nor are we seeking to discern the future of a race that has lost or forgotten the capacity of government; but we are treating of a stat-e and a people that apparently were never, during the long course of their national existence, more powerful and flourishing than they are at this very day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chronological Handbook of the History of China: A Manuscript Left by the Late Rev. Ernst Faber Now in the first place, we do not mean to say by this, that the History of China shows nothing but darkness; we gladly acknowledge that there are also some bright lights flashing over the dark scenes of China's past. China has also produced some noteworthy examples of self-denial and heroism. But these are only like a few single stars of hope in the night; on the whole the gloomy impressions of Chinese history overbalance the bright ones. Heathenism is hopeless night, in Spite of the rays of light that flash through here and there (faber, China in the Light of History, p. And in the sewnd place, we do not make Confucianism responsible for all the crimes and corruption, of which the History of China is so full, but only SO far as the principles which led to this corruption are sanctioned in the Classics (faber, in his Essay on Confucianism, China mission-handbook, p. 2, reprinted as appendix to China in the Light of History) Especially two sources Of evil are manifest in Chinese History, the taking of concubines and the cruelties of unchecked despotism leading to rebellions.

It is, in the strictest sense of the word, an outline sketch of the pre Manchu period of Chinese history which, it is hoped, the student will fill in from a wider read ing. Some of this is suggested in an Appendix. The excuse for presenting it to a public already deluged with works on China consists in two facts. The first is the importance of the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China and Its Future: In the Light of the Antecedents of the Empire, Its People, and Their Institutions The fair, though favourable, description of the Chinese Empire is also designed to appeal to the just and generous sentiments of those who talk lightly of the partition of China among the Powers of Europe, as if it were the abode of barbarous tribes or of a bankrupt civilization. China is still capable of great things if the people are allowed fair play. They are only now awaking from the sleep of centuries. They are slow to move, but will have a momentum proportioned to their vast numbers. If broken up, they mav inundate the lands of their conquerors with their swarming population, disorganizing the labour markets, and upsetting the costly enterprise of Western commerce by their industry, economy, and intelligence.

Book Synopsis China and the World-War (Classic Reprint) by : William Reginald Wheeler
Download or read book China and the World-War (Classic Reprint) written by William Reginald Wheeler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China and the World-War After the war, the attention of the world will more and more shift to China and the Far East. The greatest potential market of the world lies there: the greatest need for industrial and economic develop ment is there. The Far East, in general, and China, in particular, have been profoundly affected by the war: they will be even more deeply influenced during the peace which is to follow. All of the great powers have financial interests in China; after the war, these interests will come into sharp competition and rivalry. In their relations with China and with each other, the nations will face two alternatives: on the one hand, a policy leading to an imperialism and oppression which eventually will endanger the dearly-bought world peace: on the other, a course of action based on inter national justice and the development of a democracy in the Far East that will be safe for the world. These alternatives in Asia are, and will be, the same as those which the world is facing in Europe today: the writer believes they should be viewed in the light of the principles for which the larger part of mankind is now fighting and that unless this is done, on the Eastern horizon will surely gather the dark clouds of another world-storm.

Download or read book China's Place in the Sun (Classic Reprint) written by Stanley High and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China's Place in the Sun It was the writer's privilege to travel extensively throughout China during the months following the Peace Conference when these developments were in the beginning and to observe something of their scope and significance. In the present volume we have endeavored to review the history of these movements and to relate them, in so far as is possible to the longer, more gradual growth of the Chinese national consciousness, of which they are the most recent and probably the most significant indica tion. We have sought, further, to point out that in the international struggle for foreign markets in which we have been obliged to participate the United States is destined to be drawn into increasing commercial contact with China. This fact, considered in the light of China's increasing fitness to claim her place in the sun, raises an issue of the utmost concern to the United States. Mr. B. Putnam Weale writes: The Chinese question is the world question of the twentieth century. Of all nations America is most vitally concerned with what takes place in China. To be indifferent to the present situation or to the possibilities, for good or ill, involved in it is to ignore the chief power with which the states manship of 2021 will be concerned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years in China: Or China in Transition I am fully persuaded that the Chinese have many admirable qualities; qualities that have made, and are destined still to make them a great nation. Yet I would be a false friend to that people to whose elevation I have consecrated my life, and of whom I'have so much hope in the future, were I not to speak plainly of the influences that are hurrying them on to ruin unless speedily checked by their acceptance of progress from the West, and that Divine religion, which, though originating in the East, is now propagated from the West. Hoping that God's blessing may rest upon this slight tribute toward promoting His truth, I commit it to the public, hoping it may throw some light upon the new Eastern question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of China The eyes of the world are more and more turned toward China. We are coming to be profoundly interested in the fate of that greatest of Asiatic peoples. And it is well that we are. No other existing nation can look back over as long a past of continuous development as can China. When the foundations of Greece and Rome were being laid and when the great Hebrew prophets were in the midst of their ministry, a nation was being shaped and a civilization formed which have come down through the centuries with a comparatively unbroken history. There have been changes, but none of them as violent as those which have shaken the West during the same period. Only two other cultural groups - that in India and that in the Mediterranean Basin - have had as dominant an influence over as large a section of mankind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foreign Relations of China: A History and a Survey The purpose of the new edition of this work is to incorporate the actions of the Washington Conference. In Part I, the sketch of the diplomatic history is brought down to the close of the Conference. In Part II, the policies of France, Great Britain and the United States, have been retouched in the light of the actions of the Conference. In Part III, which deals with the policy of Japan, all the chapters have been more or less retouched. The chapter on The Twenty-one Demands as an Illustra tion of Japan's Policies in China has been eliminated, for in view of the Shantung Settlement, the three conces sions made by Japan relating to the Treaties of May 25, 1915, the Nine Power Treaty, the contention of the chapter holds true no longer. In its place, a new chapter has been added entitled The Change of Japan's Policy After the Washington Conference.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from China in Transformation The first edition of China in Transformation appeared in 1898, at a time when signs of renascence were Obvious only to those who had the opportunity to look below the surface. The author's first imten tion in bringing out the present edition was merely to preserve those parts which appear to have a permanent value, but in practice it was found difficult to adhere to this, and the result is a book, of which many chapters are strictly new, while all have been carefully revised and brought up to date. If it appears that rather undue proportion is given to the history of the middle of last century, and especially to the diplomatic and commercial relations of that period, it must be' explained that the material for this was obtained by the author in 1897 from original sources no longer available either to the student or the general reader. For this reason, this portion has only been Slightly cur tailed, in order to fit into the general perspective.
