How did the Chinese working class come about?

After the Treaty of Nanjing, the foreign powers came to set up factories, the Westernists had already begun to establish government-run enterprises, and private enterprises gradually appeared, and at that time there was already a relatively regular working class.

The working class has been suppressed until May Fourth, and it slowly appeared on the stage of history.

The process of the emergence of the Chinese working class:

After the outbreak of the Opium War, a large number of foreign capital poured into China, foreigners set up factories in the open coastal areas, a large number of foreign goods broke China's natural economy, and a large number of ordinary people had to pour into the cities to become workers for their livelihood. However, the dual exploitation of foreign capitalists and domestic feudal rulers made it difficult to ensure the livelihood of the broad masses of laborers. In the forties and fifties of the 19th century, the Chinese working class emerged in foreign enterprises.

There were very few workers at that time. In the 60s of the 19th century, Chinese national capitalism emerged, which made the Chinese proletariat stronger, but since then, the working class has been oppressed by these three forces, and the Chinese working class has begun to awaken and fight against oppression to erect the workers' movement.

In the 60s of the 19th century, a large military industrial and civilian enterprises founded by the Westernists and in the Chinese national enterprises after the 70s employed a group of workers. By 1949 the May Fourth Movement.

On the eve of the year, the total number of Chinese working class reached about 2 million.

Social movements

The emancipation of the working class requires doctors, engineers, scientists, agronomists and other specialists, because the problem is to be in charge of the political apparatus, and of all social production, and here it is not words but solid knowledge that is needed.

To say that the workers' movement is Marxism.

The basic things of thought, this statement has the disadvantage of underestimating. Marxists have made many observations on the chronicling and typology of the working class movement. But even more significant than these opinions in the case of the working class movement is the recognition that Marxist thought itself was formed from and even determined by this movement.

<> the following are the characteristics of the modern Chinese working class:

1. It is revolutionary, because it is deeply oppressed and exploited by imperialism, feudal forces and the bourgeoisie, and its revolutionary nature is the strongest.

2. It is advanced in nature, and although the number of people is small, it is relatively concentrated, which is convenient for forming revolutionary forces and disseminating advanced ideas.

3. It has a feudal character, mainly transformed from bankrupt peasants and cottage craftsmen, and has a natural connection with the peasants, which facilitates the formation of workers' and peasants' alliances.

4. Organized, the Chinese proletariat began to embark on the stage of revolution, and modern Chinese workers became the most conscious class in Chinese society.

5. Disciplined, since the composition of the bankrupt peasants is the majority, the Chinese proletariat has a natural connection with the broad masses of the peasants, which facilitates the formation of a close alliance with the peasants.

The Chinese working class.

With the world proletariat.

The common advantages and characteristics of the same:

One, it is deeply imperialist.

The feudal forces trembled and the bourgeoisie.

The triple oppression and exploitation are defeated, the working conditions are poor, the working hours are long, the wages are low, and there is no right to govern the government and starvation, and it is the most revolutionary.

Second, although its number is small, it is relatively concentrated, mainly in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Tianjin, and other big cities, and in terms of industry, it is mainly concentrated in the textile, flour, mining, railway, and other industries, so as to facilitate the formation of revolutionary forces and the dissemination of advanced ideas.

Thirdly, it was mainly transformed from bankrupt peasants and cottage workers, and had a natural connection with the peasants, which facilitated the formation of workers' and peasants' alliances. Therefore, the Chinese working class is the most advanced, revolutionary and powerful class in modern Chinese society.

First, the Chinese working class is deeply oppressed by imperialism, feudalism and capitalism, and the severity and cruelty of these oppressions are rare among other nations in the world. Therefore, they were more resolute and thorough in the revolutionary struggle than any other class. In semi-feudal and semi-colonial China, there was no economic basis for social reformism like in Europe, so the entire class was the most revolutionary, except for a very small number of workers and thieves.

Second, the Chinese working class has a natural connection with the broad masses of peasants, which facilitates the formation of a close alliance of workers and peasants.

Third, although the Chinese working class is small in number, it is highly concentrated in a few industrial cities and some large enterprises, which is convenient for unity and fighting, and forms a powerful political force.

The Chinese working class has its own special advantages: First, the Chinese working class is subjected to the triple oppression of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism, and the extreme cruelty of this oppression is rare in other countries. Therefore, the revolutionary nature of the Chinese working class is the most resolute and thorough.

Second, the Chinese working class is relatively concentrated in terms of industry and region, which is convenient for organization and formation of an important social force. Third, most of the Chinese workers were born into bankrupt peasants, and they had a natural connection with the peasant class, which facilitated the formation of a close alliance with the broad masses of peasants, so that the Chinese working class had an extremely broad social basis for leading the revolution of the Chinese workers. These advantages and characteristics of the Chinese working class determine that it is the most revolutionary and progressive class in Chinese history and a great force for promoting China's social progress.

It is deeply oppressed by the imperialism, the feudal Lao Tong forces, and the bourgeoisie, with low wages, long working hours, poor working conditions, the deepest exploitation, and the strongest revolution!
