| Summary | "China, Japan and the U.S.A." by John Dewey is a philosophical exploration focusing on contemporary conditions in the Far East and their implications for the Washington Conference, written in the early 20th century. The text examines the intricate and often tense relationships between Japan, China, and the United States during a pivotal time in international relations, marked by Japan's growing influence and the ramifications of Western imperialism. The opening of the work discusses the stark contrasts in political atmosphere and public sentiment between Japan and China, noting the uncertainty in Japan regarding its international status and the pervasive fear in China of being dominated by Japanese interests. Dewey critiques how diplomatic messages are interpreted differently in both countries, revealing a deep psychological divide. He illustrates his observations with specific examples of Japan's growing economic power and military presence in China, while emphasizing the pressing need for a more nuanced understanding of East-West relations during this tumultuous period.
