who lived a life of privilege and luxury amidst terrible poverty imposed on the chinese. a resistance known as the boxer rebellion was put down with a savage. this rape of china set the tone for how china was perceived in the west well into the twentieth century. this is the distinguished historian who should know theodore h. white hundred five of the white house speaking in the one nine hundred sixty s. perhaps china is too vast to be governed by mercy yet of chinese mind craves order they must be brought to recognize they are the biggest factor in the world's
