The main difficulty is the contradiction between backward industrial level and military demand. Before the Westernization Movement, the Qing Dynasty had a poor industrial base, and even if there was a demand for drawings, it was impossible to produce usable weapons at an early stage. In order to solve this problem, the Westernization Movement actively set up factories to enhance the industrial capacity of the Qing Dynasty. However, similar to the problems encountered by all state-owned enterprises, the state-owned industrial enterprises in the Qing Dynasty did not make progress and made slow progress, and still could not meet the needs of the arms race with Japan. In the end, the demand for military equipment still depends on imports, and the war potential is insufficient, because Japan has fallen behind in the long-term confrontation.
