Title: Chinese Culture and Western Technology: Qi Zhaoxi’s Writings about the United States
Abstract: In the late nineteenth century, the Chinese government began a project known as the Chinese Educational Mission (CEM), and for each of the four years 1872–1875 sent 30 Chinese boys to study technological subjects in the United States.1 These 120 travelers are generally considered the first group of students to have been sent by the Chinese government to a foreign country.2 In 1881, however, the Chinese government aborted the project and recalled them.3
