What reading level is China As It Really book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There can be no doubt that the Boxer upheaval was originally anti-dynastic and anti-bureaucratic : it was cleverly di- verted by the Empress Dowager against the foreigner. Foreign intervention then occurred, and the rebellion was rapidly stamped out. The Court fled, but was reinstated. That was the last time an organised rebellion in China will allow itself to be diverted from its true course.
The last ten years have seen remarkable progress in the advance of education. We see the result in the... present demand for a Constitution modelled on such a 108 CHRISTIANITY AND MISSIONARIES limited Monarchy as we have in England, or on the wider scope of American Re- pubUcanism.
The brunt of the early riots that cul- minated in 1900 in the Boxer outbreak has ever been borne by the missionaries. The missions, medical and educational, were the pioneers in China of Western progress and Christian civilisation. To them China owes a debt that can never be repaid. In the new and reformed China that looms so large to-day, no one can doubt that Christianity will play a part commensurate with the extent of her influence in the great nations of the West.
