Also included are some more personal thoughts stimulated by his own travels and experiences in China, including a number of poems.The book discusses the valuable social and intellectual influences which have flowed to Europe from South as well as East Asia, and suggests that the events of the twentieth century were a natural development of Chinese history, not a deviation from it.
