Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Developments in China When the Pacific Era shall have become an accomplished fact, the influence of the orient as a whole, and Of China in particular, will be increasingly great. Even at present the majority of the vital diplomatic questions which have been before the American Government during the past decade, have been issues concerning the Pacific. But the Far East is bound to affect our country not merely in its diplomacy, but in its trade, its industry, its education and its modes Of thought. The revolution in China deserves our most earnest study, not only because, if successful, this re-crea tion Of one Of the most numerous and the most able peoples Of the globe will take its place in history as a world event Of lasting importance, but also because it will exert a marked influence upon our own country as a neighboring Pacific power.

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.

Download or read book The International Development of China Classic Reprint written by Yat-Sen Sun and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Development of China It _is estimated that during the last year of the World War the daily expenses of the various fighting nations amounted to two hundred and forty millions of dollars gold. Take it for granted in a most conservative way that only one half of this sum was spent on munitions and other direct war supplies, that is, one hundred and twenty millions of dollars gold. Let us consider these war supplies from a commercial point of view. The battle - field is the market for these new industries, the consumers of which are the soldiers. Various industries had to be enlisted and many new ones created for the supplies. In order to increase the production of these war commodities day by day, people of the warring countries and even those of the neutral states had to be content with the barest necessities of life and had to give Up all former comforts and luxuries. Now the war is ended and the sole market of these war supplies has closed, let us hope, forever, for the good of Humanity. So, henceforth, we are concerned with the problem as to how a readjustment might be brought about. What is to be considered first is the reconstruction of the various countries, and next the supply of comforts and luxuries that will have to be resumed. We remember that one hundred and twenty million dollars were spent every day on direct war supplies. Let us then suppose that the two items mentioned will take up one half of this sum, that is, sixty millions of dollars a day which will still leave us a balance of sixty million dollars a day to be utilized. Besides, the many millions of soldiers who were once consumers will from now on become producers again. Further more, the unification and nationalization of all the industries.

Download or read book The Evolution of New China Classic Reprint written by William Nesbitt Brewster and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of New China The substance of the following pages was given to the students of the Theological School of Boston University in a series of addresses in November, 1904. The students and others ex pressed a desire to have them in more permanent and fuller form than their notes. They were not delivered from manuscript. The task of te writing has been a slow one, not only, nor, perhaps, chiefly because of lack of time from the life of a busy missionary, but because the changes in China have been so rapid and sweeping during the last three years that any utterance except prophecy is almost sure to be out of date by the time it reaches the American public, unless it is telegraphed and published in a daily newspaper. So that there is no intention to make this little volume a vehicle of news. The periodical and daily press must be relied upon for that. There is, however, an at tempt to discuss the trend of events, and to indi cate the direction of the Eastern breezes by a few straws here and there.

Download or read book The Trade and Administration of China Classic Reprint written by Hosea Ballou Morse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trade and Administration of China This book is intended to portray the present state of the Chinese Empire, with such record of the past as will show by what process of evolution the existing state has been reached. NO attempt is made to forecast the future, or even to refer to the revolution which, under the name of Reform, has been begun. The development of many centuries is to be recast, and within a year or a generation, according as the pace is forced or not, it will assume an unaccustomed garb; and the China of that future day, near or distant, will not be the China of to-day. Whether this revolution will follow the precedent of the English Revolution or of the French, whether it will proceed by logical development from step to step, or will rush on a headlong course, will depend upon the wisdom and self restraint of the leaders in the government, and in the last resort upon the nature of that public opinion which will be created in the Chinese people. But, just as the history of the England of the Georges cannot be well understood without some knowledge of the Stuart period, and as an acquaintance with the France of the Kingdom and the Empire is necessary to a comprehension of the France of the Third Republic, so also, to understand the China which the student of the future will know, he must be able to study its past. The China Of today is, with minor differences, the China of the past and in this book it is hoped that the future student will find, within the limits of the dozen subjects treated, a succinct account Of the foundation on which the China of the future will be erected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of China A european lately arrived in China, if he is of a receptive and reflective disposition, finds himself confronted with a number Of very puzzling questions, for many of which the problems of Western Europe will not have prepared him. Russian problems, it is true, have important affinities with those of China, but they have also important differences moreover they are decidedly less complex. Chinese problems, even if they affected no one outside China, would be of vast importance, since the Chinese are estimated to constitute about a quarter of the human race. In fact, however, all the world will be vitally affected by the development of Chinese afiairs, which may well prove a decisive factor, for good or evil, during the next two centuries. This makes it impor tant, to Europe and America almost as much 'as to Asia, that there should be an intelligent understand ing of the questions raised by China, even if, as yet, definite answers are difficult to give.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern China: A Political Study This book is an attempt to deal with some of the im portant problems which confront the Chinese statesman and diplomat, and those who have anything to do with China. It has been the author's hope to give a true picture of things in the Far East and to suggest constructive schemes for every subject touched upon. He has tried to avoid patriotic bias and to discuss politics with disinterestedness; and it is hoped that he has not altogether failed in his efforts. The world has become small through the rapid means of communication and through the economic interdependence of its different parts, and it is certain that, before many years have passed, a country with a territory extending over four million square miles and with a population of nearly four hundred millions, will play a far more important part in the intellectual and economic developments of the world than it does at present. It will indeed be most gratifying to the author should this book afford some food for thought to readers interested in human progress and international relations.

Download or read book Modern Constitutional Development in China Classic Reprint written by Harold Monk Vinacke and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Constitutional Development in China In the following pages modern Chinese history, from the constitutional point of view, is treated as a continuous development since the inception of reform in 1898 under the Emperor Kuang Hsu. It was only gradually that China was brought to a realization of the necessity for change in her political structure. During the years prior to 1898, it became apparent to a few in the country that the Chinese house must be repaired if it was to remain standing. The "Hundred Days" of reform in 1898 marked the attempt to patch up, without seriously altering, the existing structure. The fundamental nature of the alterations necessary, however, was not appreciated at that time. With the failure of the reform movement came a reaction against change. This reaction against the 'new' culminated in the Boxer uprising. The disastrous termination of the anti-foreign movement brought a deeper realization of the need for radical reforms. The reforms undertaken involved the introduction of a measure of representative government into China. But although committed to the idea of change, the rulers of China were not prepared to move rapidly enough to satisfy the radical element in the reform party and revolution resulted. The revolutionary ideas marked a decided break with the past. Since the revolution of 1911, the history of China has been the attempt to find a middle ground, suited to the needs of the country, between the old traditional life of the State, and the new conceptions of governmental relationships brought to the East from the West.

This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of China, and the Present Revolution: Its Progress and Prospects It has been said, that the Insurgents are students of Scripture, and anxious for the dissemination of its truths, and each new fact learnt concerning them seems to establish the truth of this statement. The last work of theirs, received by the Styx, fully justifies the above, for though it is professedly only a work upon political economy, many of the ideas and sentiments set forth in it are certainly drawn from the Scriptures, both of the Old and New Testament, and obviously by themselves; and though these do not always agree with our general deductions from the same source, they yet establish a very important point or two -viz., that they admit the supremacy of Scrip ture, and are desirous of conforming to its require ments. Nor can their offerings to the Deity be considered an exception, even though these should be esteemed by some as more than thank-offerings, since the ten deney in every age has been towards the material in this respect; in forgetfulness that God is a Spirit, and that they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chinese Revolution A new China is emerging. Whatever may be the immediate developments, however short or long the process of readjustment, We cannot doubt the outcome. This book is not, of course, intended to be a final account of either the process or the result, but an aid to the study of the large out standing causes and of their operation thus far. These causes are clear, and a knowledge of them is indispensable to an understanding of the extra ordinary significance of the reconstruction which is now taking place. I have used some parts of my former and larger book, New Forces in Old China, which are applicable to present conditions and the scope of this little book - the publishers, The Fleming H. Revell Company, having given their approval. This material, however, has been readjusted, wherever necessary, and brought down to date. Considerable new matter has been added, so that this book is intended to be a separate one representing the present situation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Life Currents in China The present hour is a crucial one in the history of China. Never has she faced such unparalleled Opportunities Or been confronted by graver perils. For a time her very life seemed to hang in the balance. But we believe the real crisis passed with the sudden ending of the European war, and that the changes sure to be brought about during this period Of world building will strengthen and make permanent the country's foundations. China is not like ancient Egypt, Whose greatness has departed though she still lives on. China is a vital force whose largest possibilities of develop ment lie before and not behind her. A new, fresh life is beginning to course through the nation's veins. How can this new life be fostered so there will not be the awful waste which has weakened China almost to the breaking point? The conservation of the physical, mental, mate rial, and, above all, the spiritual life of China and the Chinese people at this present time, - What a theme for our consideration! It will be seen that I have said but little, except indirectly, about the work being done in China by more than six thousand missionaries representing over one hundred mission boards of the British Empire, the United States, and Europe.

Download or read book The International Development of China written by Yat-Sen Sun and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Development of China As soon as Armistice was declared in the recent world war, I began to take up the study of the International Development of China, and to form programs accordingly. I was prompted to do so by the desire to contribute my humble part in the realization of world peace. China, a country possessing a territory of 4,289,000 square miles, a population of 400,000,000 people, and the richest mineral and agricultural resources in the world, is now a prey of militaristic and capitalistic powers - a greater bone of contention than the Balkan Peninsula. Unless the Chinese question could be settled peacefully, another world war greater and more terrible than the one just past will be inevitable. In order to solve the Chinese question, I suggest that the vast resources of China should be developed internationally under a socialistic scheme for the good of the world in general and the Chinese people in particular. It is my hope that as a result of this, the present spheres of influence can be abolished; the international commercial war can be done away with; the internecine capitalistic competition can be got rid of, and last, but not least, the class struggle between capital and labor can be avoided. Thus the root of war will be forever exterminated so far as the case of China is concerned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
