I'm talking about the former. It was written during WW1 and makes an analysis of the reasons why WW1 happened and why it's an imperialist war that took place as a consequence of the capitalists within the different countries fighting for supremacy. I don't expect the Chinese government to encourage militarism and conflict, but I do expect that from the US government, and I can't say I feel like the US will give away its hegemony in the world stage without a "tantrum" first.
