China crisis linked to railways and missionaries in Wright letter
Professor G. F. Wright argues in a letter to The Advance that modern progress in China, driven by railways and foreign missions, fuels upheaval. He cites foreign encroachment by Japan, France, Russia, England, and Germany, a surge in Protestant and Catholic missions, famine threats in Shantung and Shansi, and widespread superstition driving violence against Christians and foreigners, including Boxers. The piece notes massacres, attacks on English officials, and mass flight of Christians, warning of a nationwide tinderbox.
