The reason for China s backwardness in modern times, the fundamental reason for China s backwardness

Beginning in 1840, China was invaded by foreign powers, and due to the decay and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, it failed to defeat the invaders, making modern China step by step reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

Nepotism, enthusiasm can not be brought into play.

The fundamental reasons for China's backwardness in modern times are as follows:

The fundamental cause of China's poverty and backwardness in modern times is the aggression of capitalist imperialism.

If we want to not be backward and not be beaten, we must keep in mind the lessons of modern history, persist in taking economic construction as the central task, persist in reform and opening up, accelerate the realization of China's four modernizations, and make China become an economic power again as soon as possible.

The invasion of foreign powers has completely destroyed China's sovereignty and gradually reduced it to a semi-colony of the great powers. The large-scale dumping of commodities and the export of capital by the great powers have gradually reduced China to a market for the sale of commodities and a place for plundering raw materials by foreign invaders, which is the root cause of China's long-term backwardness in social and economic development, and the aggression of the capitalist powers is the greatest enemy of modern China.

Modern economic form:

For a long time, the dominant economic form in China's feudal society was the natural economy. The natural economy is mainly self-sufficient for men to plough and weave, so that the products of labor are basically used for food and clothing, and there are no surplus products, so that there can be no commodity buying and selling, no commodity economy can be formed, and the economy cannot form a qualitative leap.

Western capitalist countries have taken advantage of unequal treaties to obtain privileges, dumped commodities and plundered raw materials in China, and China's national capitalist economy is dependent on the world capitalist market, which has been created under the condition that the aggression of the great powers has accelerated the disintegration of the natural economy, and has the characteristics of congenital deficiencies.

The distribution of national capitalism in China is unbalanced, mainly concentrated in the southeast coastal areas and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and it is mainly based on light industry, with an irrational sectoral structure and no complete industrial system.

China's backwardness in modern times has no decisive relationship with which ethnic group is in power. On the contrary, it is an inevitability.

Why lag behind? Because the root cause of China's backwardness in modern times is the backwardness of China's agricultural society relative to Western industry (commercial society). Arrogant Iberia.

After the era, with European capitalism.

In order to pursue profits, European industrial science and technology have also developed rapidly.

On the other hand, in China at the same time, because investment in business and investment in land had greater political risks and investment returns.

Much less than investing in land, so social capital.

are concentrated on land (this is also the land annexation of Chinese dynasties.

decisive reasons). So I missed the perfect opportunity to take a leap forward in technology.

It is important to know that the degree of technological improvement within the agrarian society and the technological change of the agrarian society into the industrial society is far from comparable. When all mankind was in the era of cropping and animal husbandry, China relied on the four major inventions.

and standing at the pinnacle of human science and technology.

However, when Western Europe took the lead in transforming from an agrarian society to an industrial and commercial society, China's agricultural economy was too large, the political power of secular landlords was too strong, and social capital did not have a strong will to change, so it unfortunately lagged behind many developed countries in Europe.

In history textbooks, we tend to attribute China's series of wars or treaties against colonial powers in modern times to simple reasons such as the decay of its rulers. You must know that the French royal court and the Spanish royal court of the same era are far more corrupt than China, and England was even engaged in internal strife before 1688!

But in less than 200 years, Britain has formed an empire on which the sun never sets.

At that time, the population and technological level under its jurisdiction far exceeded that of China. (I didn't criticize China, I just made a comparison of qwq).

From the defeat of the Moors at the beginning, to the decline of the Mughal Empire, and then to the fall of China, the seemingly individual events are connected together, and the general trend of the entire human development at that time can be connected, the decline of the planting and animal husbandry countries, and the rise of the industrial and commercial empire, so whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, because it is all dependent on the secular landlord class.

of the elite to rule the country.

Therefore, it will definitely make every effort to protect the land interests of the landlords, and issue a series of policies that emphasize agriculture over commerce in order to compete with commercial channels for capital, which caused China to not have the economic and political foundation to transform into an industrial country at that time, which directly caused China's development to lag behind, and the final result was the humiliation of modern times.

To sum up, China's backwardness in modern times is indeed an inevitability in history, but it was only after the complete transformation of industry and commerce that China's economy officially developed.

Under the leadership of the Qing Dynasty, modern China implemented the strategy of closing the country to the outside, so it did not keep up with the pace of world development and lagged behind the world.

Because of China's overconfidence in modern times, it has implemented a policy of closing itself off from the rest of the world, which has led to China's derailment and slow development.

Because China was complacent at that time, it carried out a policy of closing itself off from the rest of the country, and was completely unaware of the development of the outside world.

It will not be a small Yiwu run by seven people.

The reason for backwardness is that it is closed and rigid, closed off from the country, and cut off communication with other countries in the world.
