China in the Great War

[yperman]

Good morning,

 

I wonder if someone could kindly suggest a book giving an  introduction to China in the Great War?

 

Thank you,

Well you could start with this one:

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/China-Great-War-National-Internationalization/dp/052128323X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1469965731&sr=1-1&keywords=China+and+the+Great+War

 

Or this one by the same author, which is about the Chinese labour Corps

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Strangers-Western-Front-Guoqi-Xu/dp/0674049993/ref=pd_sim_14_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=51W0AM7Hs1L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR106%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=Y56EZXVB5S64FP26VMGA

Another book is 

The Chinese Labour Corps 1916-1920 by Gregory James, a Forum member, which is described in  https://ww1centenary.net/2013/12/05/ww1-books-the-chinese-labour-corps-1916-20/ and is nearly 1300 pages long.

 

The Introduction is here

There is a previous GWF topic

 

 

Cheers

This is an older book which I remember getting out of Hong Kong public library in around 1990 when I lived there and finding it good

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/China-Western-Front-Britains-Work-force/dp/0950833002

 

Googling China on the Western Front also brings up a Chatham House publication, but my browser warns me off the site, and a video clip
