Trade and Diplomacy on the China Coast: The Opening of Treaty Ports, 1842-1854, Volume I
John King Fairbank
Examining critically the methods used by Great Britain to break down the cultural barrier of China for the sole purpose of trade, John Fairbank incisively points out the clash between two highly different philosophies—the Confucian ideal of government and the mercantilist utilitarianism of Britain—and how this affected China.
This two-volume work is essential to anyone interested in the origins of the present crisis in China.
