Pankaj Mishra Quotes

From The Late 1830s To The Second World War, China Was Bullied And Humiliated On A Vast Scale. And It Was More Shocking For The Chinese Because They Had Lived With The Illusion Of Power And Self-sufficiency For Much Longer Than The Ottomans. 'Our Country's Civilization,' Liang Qichao Pointed Out In 1902, 'is The Oldest In The World. Three Thousand Years Ago, Europeans Were Living Like Beasts In The Field, While Our Civilization, Its Characteristics Pronounced, Was Already Equivalent To Theirs Of The Middle Ages.
This Wasn't Just Some Cultural Defensiveness. China Could Trace Its Culture Back 4,000 Years, And Political Unity To The Third Century BC.
