Treaty of nanking is the first unequal treaty imposed on the people of China by modern western capitalist countries. Britain forced China to accept its aggression demand by military aggression, which destroyed China's independent status as a sovereign country. The occupation of Hongkong damaged the territorial integrity of China. The trading ports became the center of colonial plunder and unequal exchange of China by western capitalism. The huge compensation increased the financial burden of the Qing government, and at the same time it was passed on to the working people, making their lives more difficult. After the signing of treaty of nanking, western powers took advantage of the fire to rob and forced the Qing government to sign a series of unequal treaties. Since then, China has become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

The Influence of treaty of nanking

1, the change of social nature. Before the signing of the treaty, China was an economically independent country, and the self-sufficient feudal economy was dominant; After the signing of the Treaty, China's sovereignty over its territory, territorial sea and judiciary was destroyed. Taking advantage of the privilege of aggression, foreign invaders frantically dumped goods and plundered raw materials in China, gradually involved the China market in the world capitalist market, and China's self-sufficient feudal economy gradually collapsed. China began to become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. 2. Changes in major social contradictions. The main social contradiction, from the contradiction between the landlord class and the peasant class, began to change into the contradiction between foreign capitalism and the Chinese nation, feudalism and the masses; The contradiction between foreign capitalism and the Chinese nation has become the most important contradiction among various social contradictions. 3. Changes in social revolutionary tasks (revolutionary objects). After the signing of the Treaty, the people of China shouldered the dual revolutionary task of opposing foreign capitalist aggression and domestic feudal rule. China has since entered the period of the old democratic revolution.
