1840 The Opium War completely broke China's dream of being a great country, and China entered a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. This war also fully exposed the weakness of the feudal government and the limitations of the feudal system. However, the people of China have not fully awakened. The feudal ruling class blamed the defeat of the war on the strong guns of barbarian ships, but did not think about what made the strong guns of enemy ships. It can be seen that the long-term closed-door policy and feudal political rule have made China people's eyes nearsighted.
Since then, China was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, and the Westernization Movement went bankrupt. 1895,
1900, Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China ended in China's defeat again. 190 1 year, China became a semi-colony completely. (Increase historical knowledge: In fact, in mid-August, there were only about16,000 troops from Tianjin to Beijing (two of them were only symbolic standard bearers), that is, 8,000 Japanese troops, 4,800 Russian troops, 3,000 British Sikhs, 2 100 American troops, 800 French troops, 50 Austrian troops and 53 Italian troops. ) once again exposed the traitorous, soft and decadent nature of the feudal ruling class, and also made the people of China thoroughly disappointed with the Qing Dynasty, laying the groundwork for the Revolution of 1911.
Capitalist countries are based on commerce. The so-called commodity is the labor product produced for exchange. All commodities have two factors: use value and value. Commodity is the unity of use value and value. The higher the use value, the greater the value and the higher the profit. Therefore, businessmen not only want to increase profits by reducing costs, but also want to increase profits by increasing use value. Therefore, they must always care about form and improve productivity.
Feudal countries established their countries on the basis of agriculture. It can be said that there is no capital management. As long as they are willing to work hard, of course, the most important thing is to work hard in the sky, so people in feudal society all look at the sky.
People who love the sky will be impetuous and happy with it. People who love the land are calm and realistic, thus forming a gap.
China had an absolute advantage in any field in the Tang Dynasty, which was also due to the influx of western businessmen into China, which promoted the great integration of eastern and western cultures.
