Publisher's Synopsis
Publié en 1893, ce livre a été l'un des premiers à alerter le public français sur la soi-disant menace du 'péril jaune', c'est-à-dire la supposée montée en puissance de la Chine au détriment de l'Occident. Théry dresse le portrait de la Chine et de sa culture, et examine les causes de la supposée avance économique chinoise. Aujourd'hui, le livre est considéré comme un exemple d'idéologie raciste basé sur des stéréotypes.
