4. Chinese nationalist: are you young and well educated? Have you considered the fact that China could stand on its own? By this, meaning that we could be an independent country. Think about it, this new political party, the Kuomintang, has grown out of the nationalists’ desire for reform. This party is directed by Sun Yixian. He lived in the U.S. went to school in Hawaii, and studied medicine in Honk Kong. According to him “we have no national spirit.. We are the poorest and weakest state in the world”. I think its time we change that. We want a constitutional government with civil liberties guaranteed by a bill of rights. We want China to become industrialized so that it could defend itself economically against imperialist powers. China could protect itself against foreign control only if it becomes a modern nation. Think about it, times change, everything seems to become better. Its time for us to become modern. Show the rest of the world that China is strong too!
