Excerpt from China Awakened

Public opinion, which was formerly nonexistent or inarticulate, is now a growing and powerful influence, and even the Students' Movement, much as it has been criticized, is a factor which no Government can afford to ignore. Pseudo-militarism is still the bane of China and until the Tuchunate is abolished, there can be little hope of any improvement in the Administration.

But sooner or later the pacific instincts of the people will reassert themselves and sweep away this noxious excrescence. And then China will gradually win its way to the place in the family of nations to which it is entitled by the extent of its territory, the innate worth of its people, and its great historical past.
