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.

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.

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.

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.
