Chinese Alliances.
Uxum the title “ Chinese Alliances,” the Chinese Times of Tientsin publishes an article discussing the possibilities of alliances between China and Western Powers, especially Great Britain. The latter is, the writer says, an idea which fills the mind with an alluring sense of soundness and completeness ; but he argues that in the present condition of the Chinese statesmanship such an alliance is not within the sphere of practical politics. The scheme, he acknowledges, has its roots in the actual circumstances of the two empires and it needs no special perspicacity to see that the fundamental interests of India and China are united in substantial harmony. As it may be predicted of any country that it will ultimately do that which its material interests require, it may be argued that a common policy will eventually promote the common interests of the great Southern Asiatic Empires.
