Excerpt from The Break-Up of China: With an Account of Its Present Commerce, Currency, Waterways Armies, Railways, Politics and Future Prospects The Diplomatic and Commercial prestige of Great Britain has been affected by the events in Northern China, but only in a slight degree when compared with the loss of good name involved by forcing concessions from China when she is pros trated by involuntary surrenders to Powers stronger than herself. Hitherto our policy has been to be friend weaker nations. It cannot be said that this policy has lately been followed in the Far East. We have taken advantage of the impotence and distress of the authorities and people of China to advance our own interests, and consequently China has become suspicious of Great Britain; this is not only natural but inevitable.
