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 China's Place in the Sun On June 21st, 1921, General Jan Christian Smuts, Premier of the Union of South Africa, in addressing the session of the British Imperial Conference in London, declared: "Our temptation is still to look on the European stage as of first importance. It is no longer so. Undoubtedly the scene has shifted from Europe to the Far East and to the Pacific... The problems of the Pacific are, to my mind, the world problems of the next 50 years or more... There, I believe, the next great chapter in human history will be written." On the same day, in Washington, the Secretary of Navy of the United States made public the plans for the reorganization of the Atlantic and Pacific fleets, according to which the finest ships in the American navy, the oil burners and the superdreadnoughts, all of the newer and greater types of warships, were transferred to the Pacific. According to the press report: "The growth of American interests in the Pacific has influenced naval strategists in favor of concentrating the greatest strength of the United States in that ocean. It is held that there is no menace to any other power in such a policy, but that with Hawaii, the Philippines and other widely separated Pacific possessions to defend it is the part of wisdom to familiarize the main fleet with the conditions which would confront it with reference to harbors and strategic conditions should the United States be called upon to defend its Pacific Ocean interests."

Download or read book Ordered to China written by Wilbur J. Chamberlin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ordered to China: Letters of Wilbur J. Chamberlin Written From China While Under Commission From the New York Sun During the Boxer Uprising of 1900 and the International Complications Which Followed It is with a degree of emotion which might not be quite understood by others, that I undertake the loving duty of writing a few words of introduction to this most interesting book. It was my privilege to know Wilbur J. Chamberlin, the author, in all his walks for many years. The familiar days and nights spent with him on many a newspaper field in the United States demonstrated his courageous, tender, faithful, and truthful soul. Only those thus associated with him could estimate his marvelous ability, or speak of the esteem and fondness in which he was held by newspaper men, statesmen, politicians, and all sorts and conditions of public men. His career reflected credit on his colleagues, whether on the New York Sun or on other newspapers. This book is made up of Mr. Chamberlain;s letters to his wife and sister while at Peking and other cities in China as the correspondent of the New York Sun. They breathe a humor distinctly his own; they attest unconsciously his probity of purpose; and they give a faithful and accurate insight into the everyday life and customs of the people with whom he dwelt in the Chinese Empire in the troublesome times which followed the Boxer insurrections. The qualities which make this book valuable are summed up in the editorial of the New York Sun of Friday, August 16, 1901, which said: "Wilbur J. Chamberlin, who died on Wednesday at Carlsbad, was one of the best reporters that ever served this newspaper and its readers.

Download or read book Sun Zi The Art of War An Ancient Chinese Military Classic With the Chinese Original Text Text Analytical Data an English Translation by Lionel Giles 1910 Latin Hanyu Pinyin Transcription and Chinese English Meaning Definitions written by Muhammad Wolfgang G. A. Schmidt and published by disserta Verlag. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ancient Chinese work on military strategy by Master Sun is dating back a period in Chinese history where the central feudal state governed by the Zhou rulers was in decline with the result that regional rulers waged war among themselves to gain supremacy over each other. Sun, living at some time during the Spring and Autumn period (770-476 B.C.) was a military leader who wrote a remarkable piece of work dealing with the thirteen strategical principles (strategems) to be applied in warfare. His text is considered the oldest book on military strategy, and what he wrote was studied and considered useful and applied many centuries later inside and outside military. This book is in its essence a “psychology” and “philosophy” of war dealing with opponents in military struggle and civil life alike. The principles elaborated on are appreciated by leaders of military, business corporations and in sports today.
Download or read book America and the China Threat written by Paolo Urio and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US has historically disguised – to itself and to others – the true nature of its relations with those nations that stood in the way of its ambitions. Reversing the order of cause and effect, it has projected fear of harm from other nations even as it was expanding its dominion over them. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, which was so to be feared that the American people could even be told they would be “better dead than Red”, the US rejoiced in the belief that the world was at last under its uncontested leadership, celebrating Francis Fukuyama's then acclaimed book The End of History, and proclaiming, perhaps even believing, that it alone can assure peace, stability and prosperity in the international system. However, at the beginning of the 21st century, a formidable new competitor emerged: China. Now we hear the fear-stoked mantra, “The Chinese are coming...!” But is China really a threat to the US, or just to its sole superpower status? This book debunks, among many others, the myth of the universality of US values, and the myth of the imperial, dictatorial and state capitalist character of today's China. It explains the division between the US and China through an historical analysis of their ideologies. It reveals the source of the extraordinary difficulty the US faces in adapting to the changes occurring in the international system: inter alia, the firm belief in its exceptionalism and good intentions. By contrast, the Chinese ideology, while also possessing a remarkable internal coherence through time, has achieved greater flexibility by integrating values imported from the West and several Confucian values, to form a new ideology better able to adapt its public policies to changes in the national and the international environments. China's significant military and economic advances are addressed, along with its new investments and One Belt, One Road Initiative.

Download or read book The Seven Military Classics Of Ancient China written by Ralph D. Sawyer and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seven Military Classics is one of the most profound studies of warfare ever written, a stanchion in sinological and military history. It presents an Eastern tradition of strategic thought that emphasizes outwitting one's opponent through speed, stealth, flexibility, and a minimum of force -- an approach very different from that stressed in the West. Safeguarded for centuries by the ruling elite of imperial China, even in modern times these writings have been known only to a handful of Western specialists. This volume contains seven separate essays, written between 500 BCE and 700 CE, that preserve the essential tenets of strategy distilled from the experience of the most brilliant warriors of ancient China.
