What reading level is China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It may be so in theory ; but a widely different state of thing prevails in fact. Local self-government is the key- note of Chinese administration. We have already seen to what an immense extent the affairs of each little community are managed by itself. The family autocrat acts in the first place as the regulator of his own domestic circle, where he adjusts disputes PATERNAL GOVERNMENT 141 which would otherwise be carried to the public tribunals, and metes out punishment to those who have commi...tted wrong.
The power he exercises in this respect is so far-reaching, that mandarins who have escaped censure for their public acts are often brought before the family tribunal and made to suffer for their crimes.
Then there are the village communities to be reckoned with.
The mayor, as was mentioned before, is elected by popular franchise, and being in touch with the mandarins possesses an important voice in local affairs. He presides over a council composed of the most influential men in the district, to whom are entrusted a number of important functions, the nature of which amply indicates the large measure of self-government which is enjoyed by the Chinese people.
