Summary

edit
Description
English: This map uses a "cartogram" to demonstrate that the overall population of the British Empire (represented in the traditional red) exceeds that of the Chinese (in yellow). The author emphasizes that "The people of China are one race inhabiting one country... In the British Empire, on the other hand, are comprised people of every gradation in the human scale... The disruption of China would seriously affect the rest of the world but the collapse of the British Empire would be followed by results incalculably greater, and it is no exaggeration to say that it would convulse the whole fabric of human society."
