Can China Unite?

Can China Unite?

Compared with the Chinese Government, the Russian Government seems to discipline its people incomparably better. The Soviet rulers are troubled with no interprovincial wars that one hears about. Russia, like China, comprises many millions of people. The Russian peoples, more diverse than China's, are yet very largely Asiatics, as the Chinese are; but the Soviet Government can drive a war to a conclusion, whereas in China war of a sort has seemed to be perennial. If China during the last ten years had proved to be a convincing example of Asiatic self-determination, the moral effect on the world would have been great. It would not have been lost on the India Conference. But as things are, the “India free” movement derives little eclat from events elsewhere in Asia. The case for integration in China has still to be proved.
