The aim of this book is to enlighten the home public as to the actual circumstances in which residents in that remote region find themselves, and to supply a few scraps of information respecting the Chinese themselves. I shall consider myself fortunate if it should lead to a better understanding in England of our true position and interests in "Far Cathay."--Provided by author in preface.

'The Causes of the Unpopularity of the Foreigner in China' is a pioneering study of the complex and often fraught relationship between China and the West in the early 20th century. Written by Wu Ting Fang, who was a prominent Chinese diplomat and statesman, the work provides a penetrating analysis of the factors that contributed to the anti-foreign sentiment that was then sweeping across China. It is a powerful and thought-provoking book that still resonates today, as China continues to assert its place on the world stage.

By exploring the diverse nature of foreign activities in Republican China, this book complicates the dominant narratives of the imperialistic foreigner and Chinese victim. The spaces and relationships examined in the essays in this volume reveal a complex series of interactions between foreigners and the people of China which go far beyond one-way transmission or exploitation. This edited volume adopts a uniquely multi-disciplinary approach to the study of foreigners in China, and utilises the perspectives of historiography, literary studies, cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, and political science.
