What does industry mean to save the country?
Saving the country by industry is advocated by some representatives of modern national bourgeoisie in China, and the main way to save the country and the people is to develop capitalist industry and commerce.

After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, national capitalists and patriots set up factories to save the country. Zhang Jian founded cotton mills, flour mills and other enterprises and schools in an attempt to achieve the goal of subsidizing education with industrial income, improving industry with education and saving the country with industrial development. He believes that industry and education are the "foundation of prosperity" of the country.

During the Revolution of 1911, newspapers and periodicals competed to publicize "industry saving the country" and put forward five "avenues" for the country to revitalize industry: perfecting various administrative institutions, adjusting unified monetary measurement, dredging commodity circulation channels, recruiting talents to return to the industrial sector, and formulating special protection and reward laws and regulations; Specific measures such as expanding export trade and implementing tariff protection policy are put forward, thus forming a relatively complete theory of "saving the country through industry".

19 10, when the Qing government was on the eve of collapse, Liang Qichao strongly advocated that only by revitalizing industry could we save the country, saying, "If we don't revitalize industry, within three years, the whole country will go bankrupt, and more than 400 million people will starve to death" ("Drinking Room Collection, Anthology, Talking about Middle School Entrepreneurs").

After the Revolution of 1911, some people who were hostile to the bourgeois revolution even put forward the slogan of "make a living without going into politics", and advocated "never go into politics and concentrate on making a living". This is an argument that denies the bourgeois revolution and aims to usurp political power for the northern warlords under the shadow of imperialism. Around the May 4th Movement, the theory of "saving the country by industry" prevailed. National capitalists vigorously advocate domestic products, resist foreign economic plunder and safeguard national interests. Their common slogan is: "Revitalize industry and preserve rights."
