Excerpt from Revision of Unequal Treaties: China Appeals to the League of Nations; Official Text of the Speeches of Mr. Chao-Hsin Chu and Press Comments Thereon Mr. Chao-hsin chu (china): First of all, in the name of the Chinese delegation and on behalf of the Chinese Government, I wish to express our appreciation and admiration of the work accomplished by the Council and the Secretariat during the past year. The League deserves to be congratulated upon its progress and success. Owing to the non-observance of the geographical principle in the election of non-permanent Members to the Council, China has not yet been able to' reobtain her seat on the Council since 1923, and the Chinese people have not known whether the League still has its eye on the continent of Asia. But I can assure you that the attitude of the Chinese Government as a supporter of the League remains unchanged. Moreover, there are in China many warm well-wishers of the League. Chinese public opinion on matters of international interest runs very high to -d.ay What China most expects from the League is that her international position and the privileges to which she is entitled shall be fully recognised.

As China reclaims its position as a world power, Imperial Twilight looks back to tell the story of the country’s last age of ascendance and how it came to an end in the nineteenth-century Opium War. As one of the most potent turning points in the country’s modern history, the Opium War has since come to stand for everything that today’s China seeks to put behind it. In this dramatic, epic story, award-winning historian Stephen Platt sheds new light on the early attempts by Western traders and missionaries to “open” China even as China’s imperial rulers were struggling to manage their country’s decline and Confucian scholars grappled with how to use foreign trade to China’s advantage. The book paints an enduring portrait of an immensely profitable—and mostly peaceful—meeting of civilizations that was destined to be shattered by one of the most shockingly unjust wars in the annals of imperial history. Brimming with a fascinating cast of British, Chinese, and American characters, this riveting narrative of relations between China and the West has important implications for today’s uncertain and ever-changing political climate.

This study, based on primary sources, deals with the linguistic development and polemical uses of the expression Unequal Treaties, which refers to the treaties China signed between 1842 and 1946. Although this expression has occupied a central position in both Chinese collective memory and Chinese and English historiographies, this is the first book to offer an in-depth examination of China's encounters with the outside world as manifested in the rhetoric surrounding the Unequal Treaties. Author Dong Wang argues that competing forces within China have narrated and renarrated the history of the treaties in an effort to consolidate national unity, international independence, and political legitimacy and authority. In the twentieth century, she shows, China's experience with these treaties helped to determine their use of international law. Of great relevance for students of contemporary China and Chinese history, as well as Chinese international law and politics, this book illuminates how various Chinese political actors have defined and redefined the past using the framework of the Unequal Treaties.
