Thus it is that China will only listen to Russia and England, and eventually she must fear Russia the most of all Powers, for she can never get over the danger of the land journey, but she might, by a great increase of her fleet, get over the fear of England. I say China, but I mean the Mantchou dynasty, for the Mantchous are despised by the Chinese.
To you I can remark that if I were the Government I would consider the part that should be taken when the inevitable fall of the Mantchou dynasty takes place, what steps they would take, and how they would act in the break-up, which, however, will only end in a fresh cohesion of China, for we, or no other Power, could never for long hold the country.
I used the following argument to them when I was there: The present dynasty of China is a usurping one the Mantchou. We may say that it exists by sufferance at Pekin, and nowhere else in the Empire. If you look at the map of China Pekin is at the extremity of the Empire and not a week's marching from the Russian frontier.
The works of Gotama, under the title of "Verbal Instructions," are published by the Chinese government in four languages Thibetan, Mongol, Mantchou, Chinese from the imperial press at Pekin, in eight hundred large volumes. They are presented to the Lama monasteries a magnificent gift.
A war with Russia would imply the capture of Pekin and the fall of the Mantchou dynasty, which would never dare to leave it, for if they did the Chinamen in the south would smite them. I said, 'If you go to war then move the Queen Bee i.e. the Emperor into the centre of China and then fight; if not, you must make peace. The two Powers who can coerce China are Russia and England.
