How modern China was swept into the world market

After the Opium War, the Western powers opened China's door like cannons, seized privileges with unequal treaties, and occupied the Chinese market with a large number of cheap goods and surplus capital.

This led to the rapid disintegration of China's natural economy, with "men ploughing and women weaving" as the core. The handicraftsmen went bankrupt one after another, the people's daily necessities and industrial means of production had to rely on the market, and China became the buyer of market goods.

In addition, a large number of raw materials, including agricultural products and industrial and mineral products, are exported to industrialized countries, and China has become a supplier of raw materials to the market. Thus, after the two Opium Wars, China was drawn into the capitalist world market system.

After the Treaty of Nanjing, China began to open its ports, allowing foreigners to dump light industrial products and opium into China, and at the same time allowing the foreign powers to purchase raw materials for production from China, such as tea and raw silk, in fact, this has already involved China in the world market, and the simple raw materials bought from China are processed by machine and then sold to China at the highest price.

After the Treaty of Shimonoseki, the inflow of foreign capital was allowed, and China's economic lifeline was gradually stolen by foreigners and reduced to a vassal state of capitalism.

After the Opium War, foreign yarn first poured into the markets on the southeast coast of China. Because of its high quality and low price, it replaced native yarn, which led to the collapse of China's natural economy and promoted the development of China's commodity economy. As a result, some bureaucrats, landlords, and businessmen began to invest in the establishment of modern industry.

In this way, China was swept into the world market.

After 1840, foreign powers invaded China, and after signing unequal treaties that humiliated the country, China's door was opened by the Western powers in the form of land reparations, and then foreign markets entered China, until the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee in 1978, when China implemented the policy of opening up to the outside world and fully integrated into the world market.

Negative: to draw China into the capitalist world market and become a vassal of capitalist development; China's independent economic development process has been interrupted, and its development has been poor and backward.

Positive: to gradually disintegrate China's feudal natural economy; objectively promote the development of China's commodity economy;

Promote the modernization of China's economy.

First: the Opium War of 1840. Impact: China was forced to become involved in the tide of world capitalism, and China began to degenerate into a semi-colonial, semi-feudal society (or the collapse of China's self-sufficient natural economy).

Second: accession to the WTO in 2001. Impact: It is conducive to the rapid development of China's economy and other aspects, and promotes the globalization of the world economy.

The first Westernization Movement, the second Opium War.

One: It may be the Westernization Movement, or it may be the capitalist imperial aggression, the former belongs to learning, and the latter belongs to war aggression.

2. Hyundai may join the WTO.

Let's not talk about the impact.

Top of the first floor of the answer, I agree.

Economic characteristics. Form and Relationship: Feudal Natural Economy and Foreign Capitalist Economy. The former acts as a flood control levee for the latter, and the latter has a disintegrating effect on the former.

Causes: The Great Powers launched the Opium War, the Second Opium War, the feudal natural economy began to disintegrate, foreign capitalist economies emerged, and China was drawn into the capitalist world market.

Modern China is the process of China's gradual integration into the capitalist world market.

The self-sufficient natural economy disintegrated and began to modernize industry, albeit not completely.

First of all, China began to get involved in the world market very early. In the late Ming Dynasty, the introduction of corn, sweet potatoes, tobacco, etc., was already influenced by Westerners. The Opium War broke the pattern of China's dominance and control of foreign affairs (Thirteen Lines), and foreign merchants could do their own in the five ports.

And opium smuggling, the officials dare not take care of it. The economy of self-sufficiency is being broken at an accelerated pace, with some goods heavily dependent on overseas markets and some products needing to be purchased overseas. Later, the domestic market was also affected by the foreign economic crisis.

China began to introduce a modern industrial economy.

It has led to changes in China's social and economic structure and promoted the process of China's modernization. On the one hand, the influx of Western industrial products has led to the bankruptcy of China's traditional handicraft industry and destroyed China's traditional national economy, which is the main factor leading to China's poverty and backwardness; on the other hand, the Western capitalist powers have increased their procurement of China's raw materials, accelerated the commercialization of China's agricultural and sideline products, and objectively promoted the development of the commodity economy. In short, while China's economy was gradually drawn into the world market and turned into a vassal of the capitalist powers, it also accelerated the disintegration of China's traditional natural economy and created conditions for the emergence and development of national capitalism.
