Excerpt from The Emergency in China
The promise to write this book was given before the Revolution broke out. It seemed comparatively easy when the task was first undertaken to give a brief summary of present conditions in China, and to point out some of the currents of thought Which sooner or later would produce startling results, but the difficulties increased a hundred fold after China had been shaken to its foundation by the sudden political tempest.
To write of present conditions seemed somewhat like attempting to describe the transitory images produced in a kaleidoscope, inasmuch as everything was in flux, and nothing was permanent for any length of time.
One felt that the writing of some of the chapters must be postponed as long as possible, in hope that a state of partial equilibrium might be reached be fore they were penned. As a matter of fact Chap ter II on the Results of the Recent Revolution was the last one taken in hand.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces China's journey from a conservative, closed society to a nation open to modernization and reform. The author argues that this transition was driven by a desire to protect China from aggressive Western powers. The book highlights China's forced entry into global trade and diplomacy, the Opium Wars, and the Boxer Uprising. The author also discusses the impact of Japan's victory over Russia in 1905, the role of returned students from Japan in spreading revolutionary ideas, and the rise of nationalism in China. In the end, the book explores how these factors led to the collapse of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of a republic in 1912. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the complex historical forces that shaped China's transformation into a modern nation.
