    About this ebook

    This comprehensive study of China's history and national character was published in 1922, after Russell had spent a year as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Beijing.  It is an insightful, and in some ways even prescient, take on a country that seems destined to stand beside America as a superpower of the 21st century.
