Bureau sinologique de Zi-Ka-We • Imprimerie de T'ou-Sè-Wè|Shanghai 1930|15.5 x 24.5 cm|Broché
Second edition, revised and corrected, illustrated with numerous in-text figures (including a portrait of the author and two flags printed in colours) and with a folding table at the end of the volume.
Some minor foxing, traces of adhesive paper at the head and foot of the slightly soiled endpapers.
The "Triple Demism" designates "the Three Principles of the People" (liberal democracy, nationalism, social justice) formulated by the revolutionary Sun Ya-Tsen as early as 1912, and expounded in numerous public lectures throughout the 1920s.
None of these terms in fact corresponds to the meaning it holds in the West, and these principles continued to influence Chinese politics despite the official adoption of Marxism-Leninism.
