In this book, Bertrand Russell expressed his thoughts about both the positive and negative characters of Chinese. It can only be written after carefully thinking over what are in Chinese people’s mind. And only you have been to China for over 6 months can you really know what he really means. This is perhaps the best book for western people to learn the way of thinking of Chinese and the character of the Chinese people. After reading the book I reflect people will rebuild an thought about China, thus they can know the Chinese people in American better.

Russell clarified in depth the power balance in China among British, French, Russia, US, Germany, and Japan in the late 19th century and early 20th century. As a peace lover, Russell disgusted at the Japanese invasion and control in China. He was able to clarify the root cause of the Japanese aggression using the Race, Culture, Religion, and Industry development factors. As he stated the Chinese culture could not incubate aggression as contrary to the Japanese culture. Since the Far East culture root is deep and usually carries along for centuries, I judge his view still holds right in the 21st century. This book also clarified the possibility of a ‘Red China’ in 1922. Because Russia was a traditional enemy of Japan in the Far East, Russell thought Russia would have a huge impact on ‘Young China’ because “one’s enemy’s enemy is usually a friend”. I was so much impressed by Russell’s social analysis and insightful thought on China. I wish he were still alive today so he could educate the Westerns about who is the right peace loving people in the Far East.
