What reading level is China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
fleet proceeded up the river to Tientsin, and Lord Elgin took up his quarters in that city. The Chinese government was brought to reason by this striking success, and, with his capital menaced, the emperor hastened to delegate full pow- ers to two high commissioners, Kweiliang and Hwashana, both Manchus and dignitaries of the highest birth and rank.
Their powers were superior to those granted to Keying at the time of the old war, and they were commanded with affec- tionate earnestness to show t...he foreigners that they were competent and willing to grant anything not injurious to China. Nothing could be more satisfactory than the pro- posals of the new Chinese representatives, and they were anxious to settle everything with the least possible delay.
At this point there reappeared upon the scene a man whose previous experience and high position entitled him to some consideration. Less than a week after his first interview with the imperial representatives. Lord Elgin received a letter from Keying, who, it was soon found, had come on a self-appointed mission to induce the English by artifice and plausible representation to withdraw their fleet from the river.
