What is the benefit of a Western invasion of China for China

It broke the cycle of feudal stagnation in China and the situation of Confucianism flourishing, so that the Chinese realized the importance of natural and social sciences, otherwise I am afraid that today's monarchs would also be confused and unconscious.

It broke the feudal system, objectively promoted the development of modern industry and commerce, and spread advanced science and technology.

It is a kind of cultural invasion, and the West is exporting its values, political system, ideology, and cultural form. The essence is colonization in the new century! Like the invasion a hundred years ago, it was a manifestation of imperialist expansion (economic, cultural, ideological).

As for their technology, management model....After being eliminated, China will buy it back at a sky-high price, and isn't this a monopoly of technology?

Let us know our backwardness, and without the West we would not know our backwardness to this day.

Economy: The disintegration of the natural economy promotes the development of capitalism.

Culture: Promote the spread of Western civilization, bring advanced production methods and democratic and free ideas, and promote modernization.

Politics: Accelerate the disintegration of feudalism.

And you want to glorify the aggression of the West against China? What do you think is the benefit of killing so many of our ancestors? Is it population control?

1. Objectively, the invasion of Western capitalist countries opened China's door, broke China's relatively closed pattern, promoted the disintegration of China's small-scale peasant economy, and partially entered China with advanced technology and production methods in modern times.

2. Imperialism knocked on the door of the country with ships and cannons, defeated the old Chinese society with advanced weapons, trampled on China's national sovereignty and national dignity, and invaded a large area of China's territory.

3. Imperialism burned, killed and plundered the territory of Zhongmin Chi State, and every war brought deep suffering to the Chinese people, and every invasion greatly undermined China's economic development and caused immeasurable economic losses.

There are many reasons why Western countries have launched aggression against China in the history of debate, and here are some of the main reasons:

Economic interests: In the mid-19th century, with the rise of the industrial revolution, Western countries developed their economies rapidly, while China has been in a state of isolation, which seriously restricts the best and commercial interests of Western countries. In order to open up the Chinese market, Western countries forced China to sign unequal treaties by force and ** means, and turned China into their semi-colony.

Political and military influence: In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, foreign powers divided China into spheres of influence through secession and protectorate, weakening China's national unity and international standing. Western countries have also launched a series of wars and aggressions in China, such as the Opium War and the Eight-Nation Alliance, with the aim of expanding their political and military influence.

Racial and cultural superiority: Some Western countries once believed that their race and culture were superior to China, and this perception also led to the aggression and oppression of China by some Western countries. Some Western countries have also tried to influence China's culture and values through missionary and cultural exports to China.

It should be noted that these reasons do not represent a lack of argument between Western countries and China, nor do all Western countries have invaded and oppressed China. In today's world, the relationship between China and Western countries has also undergone great changes, and mutual cooperation and exchanges have become the mainstream trend.

Western aggression has had the following effects on China:

1. It accelerated the thinking of the Chinese people that the backward feudal system could no longer adapt to modern Chinese society, and forced the people to carry out ideological revolution and carry out ideological and ideological enlightenment.

2. It promoted the demise of China's feudal system, accelerated the process of China, and promoted the reform of the system.

3. Promoted the process of revolution and social reform in modern China.

4. The aggression of the great powers broke the balance between China's progressive forces and the backward feudal forces, and enabled China's progressive forces to take advantage of the situation to enter the political arena, which had an impact on Chinese society in the future.

5. Ideologically, a large number of crystallization of advanced and pioneering human ideas have been introduced into China, broadening the thinking and horizons of the Chinese. But at the same time, it also brought with it ideological struggles and the prevalence of extremist ideas.

Causes of Western wars of aggression:

In October of the sixth year of Xianfeng (1856), the British colonialists used the Yarrow incident to create a pretext for war. The Yarrow is a Chinese ship that was registered with the British Pawn Office in Hong Kong for smuggling purposes, but it has expired. On 8 October, the Cantonese sailors arrested several pirates and suspected sailors aboard the Yarrow, which was supposed to be a purely Chinese internal affair and had nothing to do with the British.

However, at the instigation of the British Minister to China and the Governor of Hong Kong, the British Consul in Guangzhou, Pasha Li, sent a letter to Ye Mingchen, the Governor of Liangguang in the Qing Dynasty, saying that the Yarrow was a British ship, fabricating that the Chinese soldiers had insulted the British flag flying on the ship, demanding that it be returned and apologize. Ye Mingchen argued with reason, had a tough attitude, and did not compensate or apologize, but only agreed to release him. On October 23, 1856, the British army began to move, and within three days, the company occupied all the batteries in Humen.

On the 27th, the British ships bombarded the city of Guangzhou. On the 29th, the British army invaded the city, looted and reported the Guangzhou Governor's Office and withdrew. In December, the museum was destroyed and reduced to ashes.

A British mail ship bound for Hong Kong from Canton was hijacked. In January 1857, the British army burned thousands of houses near the foreign company, and then withdrew from the Pearl River due to insufficient troops to wait for reinforcements. <>
