Quotation from: The Strength of the Strong

Written by: Jack London


China was at last awake. Where the West had failed, Japan
succeeded. She had transmuted Western culture and achievement into
terms that were intelligible to the Chinese understanding. Japan
herself, when she so suddenly awakened, had astounded the world.
But at the time she was only forty millions strong. China's
awakening, with her four hundred millions and the scientific
advance of the world, was frightfully astounding. She was the
colossus of the nations, and swiftly her voice was heard in no
uncertain tones in the affairs and councils of the nations. Japan
egged her on, and the proud Western peoples listened with
respectful ears.
