What reading level is The Problem of China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Their humour is illustrated byChuang-Tze's account of Po-Lo who "understood the management ofhorses, " and trained them till five out of every ten died. [95] Theirrestraint and under-statement are evident when they are compared withWestern mystics. Both characteristics belong to all Chinese literatureand art, and to the conversation of cultivated Chinese in the presentday. All classes in China are fond of laughter, and never miss a chanceof a joke. In the educated classes, the humour is sly and... delicate, sothat Europeans often fail to see it, which adds to the enjoyment of theChinese. Their habit of under-statement is remarkable. I met one day inPeking a middle-aged man who told me he was academically interested inthe theory of politics; being new to the country, I took his statementat its face value, but I afterwards discovered that he had been governorof a province, and had been for many years a very prominent politician. In Chinese poetry there is an apparent absence of passion which is dueto the same practice of under-statement.
