What reading level is New Forces in Old China : An Inevitable Awakening book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 Dissenting opinion in the case of the United States, Petitioner vs.
Sing Tuck or King Do and thirty-one others, April 25, 1904.
» " China," p. 105.1 XIV DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS— TREATIES IN view of some of the facts presented in the two preced- ing chapters, it is not surprising that the efforts of foreign powers to establish diplomatic relations with the Chinese Government were rather tempestuous. A full account of the negotiations would require a separate volume. For two gener- ations, nation ...after nation sought to protect its growing interests in China and to secure recognition from the Chinese Govern- ment, only to be met by opposition that was sometimes courte- ous and sometimes sullen, but always inflexible until it was broken down by force. Each envoy on presenting his letters was politely told in substance that the Chinese official con- cerned was extremely busy, that to his deep regret it would not be possible to grant an immediate conference, but that as soon as possible he would have pleasure in selecting a " felicitous day" on which they could hold a "pleasant interview " ; * and when the envoys, worn out by the never-ending procrastination, finally gave up in disgust and announced their intention of re- turning home, the typical Chinese official blandly replied, as the notorious Yeh did to United States Minister Marshall in January, 1854, — " I avail myself of the occasion to present my compliments, and trust that, of late, your blessings have been increasingly tranquil." * Scores of European and American diplomatic agents had substantially the same experience.
