What reading level is The Re Making of China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It is, however, quite a popular belief amongst his own countrymen that Yuan, who was fully conversant with the history of Napoleon I and III, meant to emulate their example, knowing that in both cases the Chief Magistracy was but a stepping-stone towards the throne.
■ ii ■i m iiMiHWfUMtWM 48 RE-MAKING OF CHINA Whatever Yuan's real thoughts and intentions, he kept them a close secret.
On November 30, Yuan concluded an armistice with General Li Yuan-hung, who was still in posses- sion of Wuchang,
... and immediately after proposed that a Peace Conference should be held in that city, appointing as Chief Imperialist Delegate his old subordinate in Chihli, Tang Shao-yi.
The leaders of the Tung Meng Hui, however, who were controlling from Shanghai the affairs of those provinces which had accepted the Republican rule, insisted upon the conference being held in the latter city. The reason for this demand was that the action of Li Yuan-hung, in first suggesting that Yuan Shih-Kai should seize the throne and then declaring himself ready to accept a Constitutional Monarchy under the Manchus, had cast serious doubts upon his loyalty and had given grounds to the fear that a conference in Wuchang might result in the Republic being signed away.
