Table of content
The Self-Strengthening Movement (1860s-1870s)
- Goal: Introduce economic reforms to combat foreign domination over China.
- Key Sectors for Reform
- 🏭 Industry: Think factories and manufacturing.
- 💵 Banking: Modern banking systems similar to what we use today.
- 📞 Communications: Easier ways to talk and spread information.
- Real-world example: Imagine your phone running out of battery and instead of simply charging it, you revamp its software, change its battery, and enhance its capacity to make it more efficient. That’s what China aimed to do with its economy.
The 4 May Movement (1915-24)
- Drive: Discover new solutions to China's challenges.
- Main Critique: Traditional Confucian ideas seemed outdated.
- Western Attraction: The success formula = 'Science + Democracy'.
- 🔬 Science: Emphasis on experimental and applied research.
- 🗳️ Democracy: Governance by the people, for the people.
- Real-world example: Think of upgrading from an old computer system to the latest one because the old one can't support the new apps and tasks you need to do.
Marxism & The Cult of Heavy Industry (early 1950s)
- Origin: Stalin's USSR in the 1930s.
- Stalin's Stance: Strong industrial base = Successful Marxist revolution.
- Focus: Heavy industry, like making tons of iron and steel.
- Mao's Take: Influenced by Soviet ideas, he stressed the importance of industry for China.
- Real-world example: Think of prioritizing building strong foundations for a skyscraper before designing the penthouse.
