    1. Direct cause:

    In the later period of the Qing Dynasty, the policy of closing the country to the outside world gradually made China lag behind the world, and if it is backward, it will be beaten, capitalism.

    The foreign powers began to invade China, signed unequal treaties, ceded land and paid reparations, and reduced China to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society step by step.

    2. Root cause: noisy.

    Modern China was a feudal power that destroyed its independence before the Opium War, and after the Opium War, due to imperialism.

    With the invasion of foreign powers, the nature of Chinese society began to undergo major changes, and it gradually evolved into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

    The semi-colonial and semi-feudal society made China feudal and natural economy.

    Although the foundation has been destroyed, the feudal system of exploitation still exists, and the exploitation of the peasants by the landlord class, combined with the exploitation of comprador capital, bureaucratic capital, and usury capital, still occupies a dominant position in China's social and economic life.

    1. Main contradictions: There are two: the contradiction between imperialism and the Chinese nation; The contradiction between feudalism and the masses of the people is the main contradiction in modern China. On one side of this is the main contradiction.

    2. Social nature: semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

    3. Basic features:

    1. The imperialist invading forces have not only gradually manipulated China's financial and economic lifelines, but also gradually controlled China's politics and increasingly become the decisive force dominating China.

    2. China's feudal forces are declining day by day and colluding with foreign invading forces, becoming the social foundation and ruling pillar of imperialist oppression and enslavement of the Chinese people.

    3. Although China's natural economic foundation has been destroyed, the land ownership system of feudal landlords, the foundation of the feudal exploitation system, is still maintained in a vast area, which has become a serious obstacle to China's modernization and democratization.

    4. Although China's emerging national capitalist economy has emerged and played a certain role in political and cultural life, under the oppression of imperialist feudalism, its development is very slow and its strength is very weak, and most of it is more or less related to imperialism and domestic feudalism.

    5. Because modern China was under the competition and indirect rule of the imperialist powers, the economic, political, and cultural development of various regions in modern China was extremely unbalanced, and China was in a state of disunity for a long time.

    6. Under the dual oppression of imperialism and feudalism, the broad masses of Chinese people, especially the peasants, became increasingly impoverished and went bankrupt in large numbers, living a life of hunger and cold and without political power.

    1. National conditions: Due to foreign aggression, it has become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Beginning with the Opium War, China began to degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, followed by the Second Opium War, the First Sino-Japanese War, and the Eight-Nation Allied War of Aggression against China.

    The semi-colonial and semi-feudal society accompanied the entire modern history of China, and neither the Westernization Movement, nor the Xinhai Revolution, nor the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression changed the nature of China's semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, until the founding of New China and the victory of the New Democratic Revolution were achieved, and the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society was finally ended.

    2. Historical task: anti-imperialist and anti-feudal, or to achieve national independence and national prosperity. Due to the nature of China's semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, the Chinese people are not only faced with the task of overthrowing the old rule and realizing the development and prosperity of the country, but also facing the task of driving out foreign aggression and realizing national independence.

    In order to achieve this task, all strata in China waged more than 100 years of arduous struggles, such as the early reform and reform, the Xinhai Revolution, the New Culture Movement, the later National Revolution, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the War of Liberation.

Semi-colonies are relative to complete colonies, which refer to independent countries that formally have their own **, but in fact, political, economic and other social aspects are controlled and enslaved by foreign colonialism, and in the form of social development, it is a historical sinking. Semi-feudalism is relative to a complete feudal society, which means that in form it is still dominated by feudal rule and natural economy, but in fact society has gradually modernized, capitalist economy, politics, ideology and culture and other factors are constantly developing and growing, and it is a historical progress in the form of social development.
