Imperialism & China
Both Joseph Esherick and Lydia Liu examine the ways in which western imperialism would have an effect on China by examining the bias and distortion that the imperialist project permitted in previous intellectual and historical inquiry. For Esherick, it is a school of thought centered at Harvard University in the U.S., which would provide a sort of "spin" on the west's imperial adventures in China to redefine the process as one not of exploitation but one "largely beneficial to China" (Esherick 9). For Liu, it is the introduction of ideas of "national character" through the nineteenth century largely by western missionaries (but also by journalists and western imperial administrators) that will have an effect upon the analysis of the Chinese situation by Chinese critics as well. But for both Liu and Esherick, it would seem that the chief concern in addressing the question of western imperialism in China is one of intellectual first principles, as a way of noting that, to a large degree, imperialism would set the terms even for its chief critics.
Esherick wishes to consider the claim made by apologists that western imperialism in China is better understood as a necessary "process of 'modernization'," which hopes to disguise the fact that "imperialism produced economic, social and political disruptions, distortions and instability of such a nature as to make successful modernization of any bourgeois-democratic variety impossible"; instead, he argues, "revolution became the logical alternative" (Esherick 10). Esherick begins with a fairly clear-cut example of the process...

Just as American Imperialists exerted violent pressure to keep control of the islands they wished to inhabit, exploit and control for their own self-interest, the Japanese Imperialists exercised an equal and "undeniable harshness" in its reign over Korea (Schmid, p. 960). But the killing of persons was not the only way to exert power. There was also the killing of a sense of nationalistic pride. Nationalism, it should be
Imperialisms in Congo Imperialism in Congo The concept of Renewed Imperialism was prominent during the nineteen century. This period saw many European nations invade Africa and scrambled for nations that they were able to colonize.

China Sample The China Fallacy provides an interesting perspective between American perception and that of economic reality. The book illustrates, how in many instances, a disconnect between truth and reality has the potential to create unnecessary conflicts between parties. The China Fallacy is no different in this regard. Within the book, the author Donald Gross illustrates how the notions of security, economic turmoil, and political instability are skewed within the general
