This book, however, based on extensive original research, demonstrates that in Britain, after the First World War, a combination of liberal, Labour party, pacifist, missionary and some business opinion began to argue for imperial retreat from China, and that this movement gathered sufficient momentum for a sympathetic attitude to Chinese demands becoming official Foreign Office policy in 1926. The book considers the various strands of this movement, relates developments in Britain to the changing situation in China, especially the rise of nationalism and the Guomindang, and argues that, contrary to what many people think, the reassertion of China's national rights was begun successfully in this period rather than after the Communist takeover in 1949"--Provided by publisher. 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 650 0 Imperialism |xHistory |y20th century. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104314 650 0 Public opinion |zGreat Britain |xHistory |y20th century. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008109692 650 0 Nationalism |zChina |xHistory |y20th century. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010103281 650 7 Diplomatic relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 Imperialism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00968126 650 7 Nationalism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01033832 650 7 Public opinion. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01082785 650 7 Public opinion, British. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01354095 651 0 Great Britain |xForeign relations |zChina. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100231 651 0 China |xForeign relations |zGreat Britain. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008114681 651 0 China |xForeign public opinion, British |xHistory |y20th century. 651 0 Great Britain |xForeign relations |y1901-1910. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85056713 651 0 Great Britain |xForeign relations |y1910-1936. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85056715 651 0 China |xHistory |yRepublic, 1912-1949. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024107 651 7 China. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206073 651 7 Great Britain. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 Routledge studies in the modern history of Asia ; |v119. 852 0 |bf |hDA47.9.C6 |iC48 2017 902 kl |bs |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20160919 904 kl |ba |hm |cb |e20160919 914 (OCoLC)ocn912377974 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240710 |eprocessed |f912377974
