The main proposition of the Westernization Movement is to take the middle school as the body and the Western learning as the use, and the main proposition of the Wuxu Reform Law is to change the nature of the country as much as possible to save the country.

The Westernization Movement advocated self-improvement and learning advanced foreign science and technology, especially in the military, and the result was the establishment of China's first to modern navy and the Beiyang Naval Division. After the First Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Naval Division was annihilated, and the Westernization Movement went bankrupt. Shi Yi's long skills have been achieved, but self-improvement has not been achieved.

The Wuxu Reform was a bourgeois reformist movement that advocated a constitutional monarchy, but they did not take into account that the Guangxu Emperor was not Peter. The idea of a constitutional monarchy was unrealizable in China at that time.
