I actually didn't write it in the article, but when I was typing it I was thinking that a historian only trained in recording/interpreting modern liberal politics would have an easy task describing that episode of Chinese history in liberal terms (which is what I did).

I will probably do the same creative misinterpretation when I write an article on Chinese iron production and the market technologies they used (ie early capitalism) to establish what was only over-taken by 18thC European industry.
