"The Treaty With China, its Provisions Explained" by Mark Twain is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the treaty established between the United States and China, focusing on its various articles and their implications for international relations at the time. Twain’s work aims to clarify the complex language and intentions behind the treaty, which was aimed at fostering better understanding and cooperation between the two nations. In this book, Twain delves into the specific provisions of the treaty, explaining how they aimed to promote peace, trade, and mutual respect between the United States and China. He discusses the rights granted to both American citizens in China and Chinese subjects in America, emphasizing religious freedom, the abolition of discriminatory laws, and the rights of Chinese immigrants. Twain's wit and critical perspective shine through as he addresses the challenges both nations faced, the misunderstandings between foreign powers and the Chinese government, and the overarching theme of promoting confidence and goodwill. Through his insightful commentary, Twain advocates for a more equitable and just relationship based on understanding rather than exploitation, positioning this treaty as a pivotal step towards broadening international diplomacy.
