The International Aspect of the Missionary Movement in China explores the complex intersection of religious proselytization and international diplomacy during a transformative period in Chinese history. Chao-Kwang Wu examines the legal and political status of Christian missionaries under the system of extraterritoriality and the so-called unequal treaties that governed foreign presence in the region. The work delves into how missionary activities were deeply intertwined with the foreign policies of Western powers and the subsequent impact of these relations on China's sovereignty and internal affairs.

Through a detailed analysis of diplomatic records and historical developments, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the missionary movement as a significant international phenomenon. It addresses the tensions and collaborations between foreign mission boards, their respective home governments, and the Chinese state. This study remains a vital resource for scholars and readers interested in the history of East-West relations, the development of international law in East Asia, and the sociopolitical consequences of the Christian enterprise in early twentieth-century China. Wu offers a rigorous investigation into how the missionary movement shaped, and was shaped by, the global political landscape of the era.
