1, dependence on western powers. The Westernization Movement had to rely on the western powers to learn from the western practical science and technology, and the military industries it created were all modeled after the West.
2. It has the nature of sealing. The purpose of Westernization Movement was to maintain the feudal rule of Qing government, not to modernize China.
3. Management is decadent. In the process of establishing military and civilian enterprises, the Westernization Movement still adopted the management mode of feudal officials, which led to the enterprise disease of high cost and low efficiency in the military industry, and the backward management eventually led to the failure of the movement.
Second, the introduction of the Westernization Movement:
Westernization movement, also known as self-help movement and self-improvement movement in the late Qing Dynasty. It was a self-help movement launched by the Westernization School in the late Qing Dynasty in 19, 60-90 to maintain feudal rule and introduce western military equipment, machine production and science and technology. The slogan of the Westernization Movement was "self-improvement" in the early stage and "seeking wealth" in the later stage.
Although the Westernization Movement did not make China rich and strong for more than 30 years, it introduced advanced western science and technology, which led to the emergence of the first batch of modern enterprises in China and objectively promoted the emergence and development of Chinese national capitalism.
