Dr Sun Yat-sen writes to Henry Ford on the development of China 

[Cross-posted] This had me captured for a while today:

Letter from Sun Yat-sen to Henry Ford, 1924

An amazing historical document backing up how Dr Sun saw China, combining his beliefs and his knowledge of and self-determination. He was also prescient in saying that China could be the centre of the next world war if it did not set itself straight. Naturally, a man of Dr Sun’s knowledge and training had perfect written English—much like modern .

An extraordinary letter, and I totally agree with the sentiment that business leaders may be able to do more (in fact, see more) than governments.

And what beautiful English!
