==Quotes about China==
=== 1880s ===
*"The Chinese Government is well informed on everything that goes on in the outer world; they are not the Chinese of fifty years ago. Like their neighbours in Japan, they are now embraced within the number of civilized nations, in every way civilized — I mean in modern ideas, as they have an ancient civilization of their own. But they have the same commercial ideas as the European nations and the nations of North America."
