1. Why is the Opium War the starting point of China's modern history?

1 The signing of a series of unequal treaties, such as the Opium War and treaty of nanking, opened the door for the invasion of foreign capital-imperialism, which caused two major changes in China society and led to the change of the social nature of China, from a feudal society to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

2 Independence becomes semi-colony (territorial cession, sovereignty division-territorial sovereignty/customs sovereignty/judicial sovereignty); Feudalism became semi-feudalism (commodity export, involvement in the world market, disintegration of natural economy, emergence of national capitalism). 2. Briefly describe two fundamental changes in China society after the Opium War.

3. Briefly describe the basic characteristics of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in China.

1 The aggression of capitalist imperialism not only gradually manipulated the financial and economic lifeline of China, but also gradually controlled it.

China's politics has increasingly become the decisive force dominating China;

China's feudal forces are declining day by day and colluding with foreign aggression forces, becoming the oppression and slavery of capital-imperialism.

China people's social foundation and ruling pillar;

Although the natural economic foundation of China has been destroyed, the foundation of feudal exploitation system, namely the land ownership of feudal landlords, is still maintained in vast areas, which has become a serious obstacle to China's modernization and democratization;

Although China's emerging national capitalist economy has emerged and played a certain role in political and cultural life, it has been in the imperial era.

Under the oppression of nationalism and feudalism, its development is slow and its strength is weak, and it relies on foreign capital-imperialism and domestic feudalism to some extent;

China has a vast territory and has been under the competition and indirect rule of capitalist imperialist powers since modern times. The existence of local separatist forces has led to extremely unbalanced economic, political and cultural development in various regions. The imperialist countries have supported different political forces to split China, leaving China in a state of disunity.

Under the double oppression of capital-imperialism and feudalism (followed by bureaucratic capitalism), the broad masses of people in China, especially farmers, are increasingly poor and even bankrupt in large numbers, living a life of hunger and cold and without political rights.

The semi-colonial and semi-feudal characteristics are constantly evolving, and in some periods, some areas even became colonies directly ruled by imperialism. 4. What are the ways of capitalist imperialism invading China?

1 military aggression. Including: launching a war of aggression and massacring the people of China; Occupy the territory of China and divide the sphere of influence; Blackmail compensation and plunder wealth;
