What reading level is China's Past & Future book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was most unfor- tunate that the use of force was necessary to the establish- ment of foreign relations with China. What the Chinese will believe, to the end of time, to have been the real motive for the use of force renders it substantially impossible to hope for any cordiality upon their part in intercourse or relations with the nations of the Western World. And the facts go far to justify them in their belief. It is difficult to move' about in China without inhaling the fumes of opium.
And... it is impossible to take even a first step in any study of her people, of their feeling toward and ideas concerning the outside world, without coming into contact with the drug itself. No true picture of modern China, in its attitude toward progress, in the opinions and feelings which dominate the lives and control the conduct of its people, from the palace to the mud hut, toward all men and all things tha;t are foreign, can be correctly painted unless opium is mixed with the colours. Not all Chinese smoke it, but it has played a large and deadly part in distorting the vision, be- fogging the judgment, and embittering the minds of the entire mass of the nation.
