Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Unwelcome guestsOn a Chinese stage -- Lindsay's war and peace -- Model settlements -- China El Dorado -- At the heart of the heart of the empire -- Inland dreams -- Coastwise -- Jubilees -- Extinction -- History. Humiliated by military disaster, racked by rebellions that cost millions of lives and ultimately invaded during the Boxer Rebellion by thousands of foreign soldiers, it looked as though the colonial Scramble for Africa was about to be followed by the Scramble for China. This new book tells this epic story both from the European (mainly British) point of view and the Chinese. The degradation of China in this period is crucially important to understanding China today, whose government and people are steeped in stories of this terrible time and never wish to appear weak again. --from publisher description |
