[America Through the Spectacles of an Oriental Diplomat by Wu Tingfang]@TWC D-Link bookAmerica Through the Spectacles of an Oriental Diplomat CHAPTER 12 21/33
Man alone has made differences between man and man, and the yellow man is no whit inferior to the white people in intelligence. During the Russo-Japan War was it not the yellow race that displayed the superior intelligence? I am sometimes almost tempted to say that Asia will have to civilize the West over again.
I am not bitter or sarcastic, but I do contend that there are yet many things that the white races have to learn from their colored brethren.
In India, in China, and in Japan there are institutions which have a stability unknown outside Asia.
Religion has apparently little influence on Western civilization; it is the corner-stone of society in all Asiatic civilizations.
The result is that the colored races place morality in the place assigned by their more practical white confreres to economic propositions.
