America As Seen By Oriental Diplomat Summary
| While this book is by no means famous, it is a remarkable chance to look at America of 1914 through the eyes of an outsider. Wu Tingfang shows evidence of having thought through many issues of relevance to the United States, and while some of his thoughts are rather odd — such as his suggestion that the title of President be replaced by the title of Emperor; and others are unfortunately wrong —such as his hopes for peace, written on the eve of the First World War; they are all well-considered and sometimes show remarkable insight into American culture. |
