    Semi-feudal and semi-colonial society.

  2. Anonymous users2024-02-14

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

    First, the capitalist-imperialist invading forces have not only gradually manipulated China's financial and economic lifelines, but also gradually controlled China's politics, becoming increasingly the decisive force dominating China.

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

    Third, 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.

    Fourth, 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 connected with foreign capital, imperialism and domestic feudalism.

    Fifth, because modern China was under the contention and indirect rule of the capitalist-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.

    Sixth, under the dual oppression of capital, imperialism and feudalism, the broad masses of the Chinese people, especially the peasants, have become increasingly impoverished and bankrupt in large numbers, living a life of hunger and cold and without political power. China's semi-colonial and semi-feudal society and its characteristics were gradually formed with the expansion of imperialist aggression and the deepening of the integration of imperialism with China's feudal forces.

    The social nature of modern China is semi-colonial and semi-feudal.

    1.The Opium War caused China to lose its independent status and began to degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and the nature of Chinese society underwent tremendous changes. From the point of view of semi-colonization, after the Opium War, China's sovereignty over territory, territorial waters, justice, tariffs, and other sovereignty began to be seriously undermined, and China has lost its independent national status politically.

    In particular, the concessions established by the great powers were completely independent of China's administrative system and legal authority, and were "states within states" and became the bases for the great powers to carry out their policies of aggression against China.

    2.From the point of view of semi-feudalism, after the Opium Wars, the natural economy, marked mainly by small agriculture and cottage industry, began to disintegrate. On the one hand, the cottage industry, which is dominated by cotton textiles, has been greatly affected by foreign commodities in the southeast coastal areas, and on the other hand, agricultural products mainly silk tea have been increasingly commoditized.

    3.Nature of Society:

    After the Opium War, with the invasion of foreign capital-imperialism, China gradually degenerated into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

    Basic features:

    The capitalist-imperialist forces of aggression are increasingly becoming the decisive force dominating China. China's feudal forces are declining day by day and colluding with foreign invading forces, becoming the social foundation and ruling pillar of capitalist imperialism oppressing and enslaving the Chinese people. Although the foundation of China's natural economy has been destroyed, the foundation of the feudal exploitation system, that is, the land ownership system of feudal landlords, is still maintained in a vast area, which has become a serious obstacle to China's modernization and democratization.

    Although China's emerging national capitalist economy has emerged, it has developed slowly and its strength is very weak under the oppression of imperialism and feudalism. The economic, political, and cultural development of various regions in modern China was extremely uneven. Under the dual oppression of capital-imperialism and feudalism, the vast number of Chinese people live in extreme poverty and unfreedom.

    4.The main contradiction:

    The contradiction between imperialism and the Chinese nation, the contradiction between feudalism and the masses of the people. These two pairs of principal contradictions and their struggles run through the entire semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in China, and play a decisive role in the development and changes of modern Chinese society.

    Historical Quest:

    In modern times, the two major historical tasks facing the Chinese nation are to strive for national independence and the people's liberation and to realize the prosperity and strength of the country and the prosperity of the people. The former task removes obstacles and creates the necessary prerequisites for the latter; The latter task is the ultimate goal and inevitable requirement of the previous one.

    5.Officially over:

    On October 1, 1949, the People's Republic of China was formally founded, which was of epoch-making significance, enabled China to enter a bright and glorious new stage, marked the victory of China's new democratic revolution, and at the same time transformed China's social nature from a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society to a new democratic society.

    It was only after the end of 1956 that the three major transformations were basically completed, and China's social nature changed from a new democratic society to a socialist society.
