The China Question is a historical book written by James MacDonald, originally published in 1870. The book focuses on the relationship between China and the Western powers during the 19th century. MacDonald examines the economic, political, and social factors that led to the Western powers' increased interest in China during this time period, including the Opium Wars and the opening of Chinese ports to foreign trade. He also explores the impact of Western influence on Chinese society and culture, as well as the tensions and conflicts that arose between China and the West as a result of these changes. The China Question provides a detailed and insightful analysis of a pivotal moment in world history, shedding light on the complex dynamics of colonialism, imperialism, and globalization.1.
