In the process of establishing military industry by Westernization Movement, the most difficult problems are capital, raw materials and transportation. Therefore, after the slogan of "self-improvement" and "seeking wealth", the Westernization Movement began to set up civilian enterprises, focusing on developing a series of supporting military projects such as mining, smelting, shipping and railways.

Under the advocacy of Westernization School, many dignitaries were proud of setting up Westernization, which profoundly shook the concept of "attaching importance to agriculture and neglecting commerce" in China's thousands of years of civilization since Shang Yang's political reform, promoted the development of China's modern economy and capitalism, and significantly increased the capitalist economic components in the social economy, which was of great significance to the birth and development of modern enterprises and national capitalism in China.

Extended data:

In the Westernization Movement, although the Westernization School advertised itself as a "new policy of self-improvement", because they were all guardians of feudal traditional thoughts, they had no intention of learning the capitalist political and economic system at all.

He only advocated learning western technology and strongly opposed any form of feudal thought and system reform. He just wandered around the walls of the feudal kingdom and thought he had created something new and was complacent.

Therefore, in the end, it failed to show "self-improvement" and "revival" in front of foreign invaders. On the contrary, under the attack of foreign powers' aggressive forces, the "meritorious service" held by feudal ideological defenders soon failed.
