Description

Bertrand Russell's The Problem of China offers a thought-provoking analysis of China's history and politics. Written in 1920, this work challenges prevailing Western views of China as backward and weak, instead presenting a nuanced assessment of the country's past, present, and future. Russell examines the fundamental aspects of Chinese civilization, contrasting it with Western values and highlighting the complexities of the Chinese character. He also explores China's relationships with Japan and Russia, and provides a prescient prediction of China's resurgence - but only if it can establish an orderly government, promote industrial development under Chinese control, and foster education. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new introduction by Bernard Linsky, providing additional context for readers interested in understanding Russell's vision for China's future.
