Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an insightful account of China's political, social, and economic conditions at the turn of the 20th century, shortly after the Boxer Rebellion. The author, an American diplomat who served as US Minister to China between 1906â"1909, discusses trade, US-China foreign relations, and the complexities and inefficiencies of the Chinese government. He argues that, in order to strengthen the country and avoid foreign intervention, China should consolidate its power under a centralized government, and that the foreign powers should assist in this effort by respecting Chinese sovereignty. This book provides valuable insights into the complexities of China's relationship with the West, and the challenges it faced as it sought to modernize and strengthen itself in the face of foreign imperialism. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
