Publisher's Summary
After teaching as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Beijing for the year 1920, Bertrand Russell penned The Problem of China, in which he describes China's past and present, opening on the country's possible future. Written 100 years ago, the work is demonstrative of the philosopher's insight and analysis of both the West and the East. His cautionary advice and predictions of the potential future of China are uncanny in their accuracy.
A must-listen for anyone wishing to understand the dynamics at play between China and the United States, Great Britain, France, Russia, and Japan.
