Judging from the international environment. The Meiji Restoration in Japan took place in the late 1960s in 19. At that time, the world was still in the period of free competition capitalism, and the climax of colonial conquest had not yet begun. The main target of western powers' aggression in East Asia is China, which has a vast territory and rich resources. In addition, the national liberation movement in Asia, especially the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement in China, contained the western powers and provided a more favorable international environment for the Meiji Restoration in Japan. Japanese reformists themselves pay more attention to the strategy of diplomatic struggle and make great use of the contradictions between Britain and France, Britain and Russia. The people of China and the Reform Movement of 1898 reached 19 at the end of the 1990s, when world capitalism was in the transition to imperialism, and the powers basically carved up the world through the climax of their struggle for colonies. China became the "only rich source" that the great powers competed for in the East, and there was a frenzy to carve up China. At this time, the imperialist powers never wanted China to become an independent and powerful capitalist country, and the international environment was very unfavorable to China's reform movement.

The Meiji Restoration in Japan, which took place in the 1960s of 19, is known as "a miracle in world history". Due to the Meiji Restoration, Japan changed from a small feudal country into an "oriental comet" in less than half a century, and became one of the imperialist powers in the dazzling international competition. However, when we turn our attention to the diplomatic factors that created this miracle, we cannot but cheer for it. No matter how magical this miracle is, it can't erase the historical fact that Meiji government used the "strategy" of North Korea and China to make up for and balance its humiliation and losses in European and American diplomacy.
