Tell us about your understanding of the rise of the West in modern times

The reasons why China has taken this path of modernization are as follows:

1.Stubborn resistance from the feudal conservative forces within: China's modernization was initially led by the Westernists in the landlord class, the bureaucratic comprador class played a subtle role in the beginning of China's modernization, and the bourgeoisie never really grasped the leadership of modernization.

2.The toppling, rejection, and destruction by force of the external capitalist powers: China's modernization lacks the necessary process of primitive accumulation of capital, and the preparation of technology, talent, and ideology is not sufficient, and its driving force does not mainly come from within but from the outside; therefore, it does not take the spontaneous establishment of modern enterprises by the people as the forerunner and develop capitalism through free competition, but mainly relies on the strength of the political power, starting from the government-run military industry, from military supplies to civilian use, from state-run to private, from heavy industry to light industry.

Generally speaking, the reasons for China's modernization and development are not only the stubborn resistance of the internal feudal and conservative forces, but also the overthrowing, rejection, and destruction by force by the external capitalist powers.

The result of combining the universal truth of Mark's hidden loss with the specific national conditions of China. In modern China, there was a reform movement of the reformists who tried to take the road of constitutional monarchy, the bourgeois revolutionaries of the Later Zao Tanlai faction also failed to take the road of democracy and republic, and later the attempts of some comprador bourgeoisie to take the road of relying on the Western powers to annihilate the Western powers also failed. Only the socialist road led by the Communist Party of China can save China.

Because we were from a backward agricultural country to the early stage of industrialization, we directly entered socialism and lacked the material preparations for a highly developed industrialization, so our socialism is socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The semi-colonial and semi-feudal society of Chinese society is a deformed social form subordinate to the capitalist world system that has gradually formed in China since modern times under the conditions of the invasion of foreign capitalist forces and its integration with Chinese feudal forces. Chinese society before the Opium War was feudal. After the Opium War, with the invasion of foreign capital-imperialism, the nature of Chinese society underwent fundamental changes

Independent China gradually turned into a semi-colonial China; Feudal China gradually turned into semi-feudal China.

The October Revolution brought socialism to China with the sound of a cannon.

The characteristics of the exploration process of China's modernization: from the surface to the inside, layer by layer.

Changes in learning: from technology to politics and then ideas.

Insight: The Chinese people have a spirit of unremitting exploration; The capitalist road does not work in China; Neither the landlord class nor the bourgeoisie can change China's semi-colonial and semi-feudal social nature, and only the Communist Party of China can save China and only socialism can develop China.

From the surface to the inside, from the shallow to the deep, from the Westernization Movement (utensils, technology) to the Wuxu Reform, the Xinhai Revolution (system) to the New Culture Movement (ideology and culture).

From imitation, then to the practice of autonomy, to the later influence of the erroneous line of Marxism-Leninism, and then to become cautious. The current inability to let go and complete Western-style democracy are only one step away.

From learning the advanced military artifacts of the West to learning the Western political system to learning the Western democratic thought.

We should realize that the root cause of backwardness lies in ideology and culture.

Under the New Youth Magazine, everyone thinks that as long as the West is good, their own country is completely backward, and blindly learns from the West.

From simply introducing first-class equipment to learning various natural sciences, cultural system construction, and legal system construction from the West in an all-round way.

Military science and technology to political system to ideology and culture.

He successively launched the Westernization Movement, the Wuxu Reform and the Xinhai Revolution, which had a great impact on China's modern history.

After the industrial revolution, Britain's social productivity increased greatly, and it was urgent to open up new markets. And the potential market in China is huge. China's feudal economy hindered the dumping of British products.

In order to open the door to China, Britain launched the Opium War against China, and China was reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society from that time.

I think it's the closure of the Qing Dynasty.

The British came to visit China, and they brought the most powerful and advanced things in the British version of the country to give to China, but the emperor of the Qing Dynasty did not appreciate it, and felt that those things were not as good as China. Because the British envoy would not kneel down for him, he drove the British envoy back and threw all those things in the hut.

Later, when the Eight-Nation Alliance burned the Old Summer Palace, they found a lot of advanced equipment in a dusty warehouse, and they were greatly surprised why China had so many advanced equipment but did not use it.
