Excerpt from Forces Mining and Undermining China In writing this book I have tried to be fair, and, above all things, not to allow myself to be carried away by national or personal sentiment. At the same time, the writing of unbiassed history is rendered doubly difficult when that history is fizzling hot, just out of the oven, and when the chronicler is looking at the picture with his nose right up against the glass. Nevertheless, I believe this book to contain plain, unvarnished facts. Most of these facts are from my personal observation, but where this has not been possible I have quoted the observations of such reliable authorities as Mr. Thomas T. Read, Mr. Percy Kent, or the "Far Eastern Review." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Chinese are not a military people-they are a mercantile people born and bred. With them trading instincts are absolutely ingrained, and every transaction which passes through their hands must leave its trace of personal profit lying on their hands.They never stop to ask themselves whether somebody else's code of morals approves or disapproves of this particular trait in their character. They simply say to themselves, "Oh, well, if there is no profit in this little game, we will not play at this little game."-from "To the Business Man at Home"As China in the beginning of the 21st century is starting to assert its global economic dominance, this 1914 survey of the slowly industrializing nation moving in the 20th century is newly fascinating. Written by a British military interpreter of the Chinese language and a Chinese inspector for the Transvaal government, this historically important discussion of a people rushing to modernize examines the potential for China's burgeoning coal-mining and railroad industries and explores the foreign influences-German, English, French, American, and others-that were then seeking to stake their claims in this new business frontier.Though burdened with the prejudices of its time, this intriguing volume supplies an essential background for anyone who wishes to understand China's past... and its future.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
