The core question for the twentieth century is which commerce, race, language, civilization, and religion will dominate among Pacific neighbors. The argument contrasts U.S. maritime and industrial strength and China’s massive population and expanding industry, mining, railroads, and resource discoveries, linking these forces to world influence and potential expansion.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":45,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-awakening-of-china-read-online-free/412171/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-awakening-of-china-read-online-free/412171.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"nayy☆","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-11","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":24},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What does the author say creates civilization?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Civilization arises from the interchange of commerce, ideas, and ideals, and it spreads through connections made by rivers, seas, and oceans.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What is the central problem the author raises for the twentieth century?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"It asks what commerce, race, language, civilization, and religion will become dominant among the Pacific Ocean neighborhood in the twentieth century.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"Why does the author emphasize China in the Pacific question?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"China is portrayed as having a vast population, strong industrious labor, and growing acceptance of modern inventions, alongside developing railroads and major coal and iron resources.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},412171,1791554893,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":44,"category_name":45,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":24,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},962090893153,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_9964176cb1d06d4a9deccf72a44ae3dc","The Library  \n# SCHOOL OF THEOLOGYAT CLAREMONT\n\n■mTHEAWAKENING OF CHINA  \nBY  \nBISHOP JAMES W.BASHFORD  \nSCMOOL OF RELIGIONUNIVERsITY OF SoUTHERN CALIFORNIA  \n34153VB35  \nPRINTED NOVEMBER,1906  \n# THEAWAKENING OF CHINA\n\nCivilization arises from the interchange of com-merce,of ideas,and of ideals.As water is the oldestand still the cheapest means of communication,civili-zation springs up in connection with rivers and lakesand oceans.The earliest stage of civilization,beforemen were able to cross the great seas,was the civili-  \nzation of the river basins.Witness the civilization of Stages ofEgypt along the Nile,of Babylonia and Assyria alongCivilizationthe Tigris and the Euphrates,of China along theYangtse-kiang and the Hoang-ho.The second stageof civilization arose when men were able to cross the\"Great Sea\"of the Bible.Witness the civilization ofGreece and Rome,of Carthage and Macedonia and ofPalestine around the Mediterranean.The third andmodern stage of civilization was inaugurated whenColumbus crossed the Atlantic and discovered a newworld.Witness the civilization of Spain and Portugal,of France and Holland,of Germany and England,upon the eastern side,and of Canada,the UnitedStates and South America upon the western side ofthe Atlantic.The fourth and the final stage of civili-zation upon our globe is that which is rapidly takingshape around the Pacific Ocean.More than five hun-dred million people already live in the Pacific basin.  \n336724  \nThe  \nProblem  \nStated  \nAnglo-  \nSaxons of  \nthe Orient  \nThe problem which confronts us is,What commerce,what race,what language,what civilization,whatreligion shall become dominant in the world neighbor-hood gathering around the Pacific Ocean in thetwentieth century?  \nThe United States and China  \nIn the problem of the twentieth century,the UnitedStates and China bulk large-the United Statesbecause of her long line of sea coast on the Pacific,her high industrial and commercial development,herenormous wealth,her energy,and the inevitableincrease of her population along the Pacific CoastThe completion of the Panama Canal will put theentire United States,including the Atlantic Coast,three thousand miles nearer China than is Europe.The Christian faith which we very imperfectly repre-sent may nevertheless through us become dominant inthe Pacific basin.  \nChina bulks large because she now has a popula-tion of 437,000,000—three-fourths the people of thePacific basin—whose industry,energy,economy,perse-verance,and fruitfulness make them the Anglo-Saxons of the Orient.China sustains this immensepopulation wholly by farming and such crude manu-facturing as can be carried on by hand.China is justbeginning to accept modern inventions and to intro-duce modern machinery;and with far the largest andtoughest,most industrious and most economical labor-ing class on our globe,an era of vast industrial expan-sion is immediately before her.Moreover,China is  \nnow beginning to construct railroads and to open thelargest and finest coal and iron mines thus far knownto man.Baron Richtofen,after a laborious investi-gation of many years,submitted to the German govern-ment a three-volume report of the coal and ironresources of China,showing that they are the finestin the world.He found coal in ffteen of the eighteenprovinces examined by him;and in the province ofShansi alone he reported enough coal to supply thehuman race for several thousand years.Side by sidewith these supplies of coal,Baron Richtofen foundvast supplies of iron ore.The German government wasso amazed by the Baron's reports that an expert com-mission was sent to China in I897 to reexamine hisdata,and this commission fully verified Baron Rich-  \ntofen's estimates.It was the discovery of these mar-Marvelousvelous resources of China which led to the greedy Resourcesattempts of European powers to divide the empire—attempts which led to the Boxer uprising and whichwere frustrated largely by the statesmanship of Secre-tary Hay and the power of the U","cbCaibxvlHHZdRPU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibxvlHHZdRPU","pdf",1635150,32,"English","# The Awakening of China\n# The Problem Stated\n# The United States and China","[{\"question\":\"What does the author say creates civilization?\",\"answer\":\"Civilization arises from the interchange of commerce, ideas, and ideals, and it spreads through connections made by rivers, seas, and oceans.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the central problem the author raises for the twentieth century?\",\"answer\":\"It asks what commerce, race, language, civilization, and religion will become dominant among the Pacific Ocean neighborhood in the twentieth century.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the author emphasize China in the Pacific question?\",\"answer\":\"China is portrayed as having a vast population, strong industrious labor, and growing acceptance of modern inventions, alongside developing railroads and major coal and iron resources.\"}]","The Awakening of China - read online free | PDF",1790590734,81]
