Semicolonies are relative to complete colonies. It refers to an independent country with its own government in form. In fact, politics, economy and other social aspects are controlled and enslaved by foreign colonialism, which is a historical decline in the form of social development. Semi-feudalism is relative to a completely feudal society.
It means that feudal rule and natural economy still dominate in form. In fact, the society has been gradually modernized, and the capitalist economy, politics, ideology and culture are constantly developing and growing, which is a historic progress in the form of social development. Semi-colonialism is viewed from the political status of the country, and semi-feudalism is viewed from the social and economic structure. Semi-colonialism is the cause of semi-feudalism, which is the foundation of semi-colonialism.

How did modern China gradually become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society? (1) 1840 Opium War, 1842 The signing of the treaty of nanking between China and Britain made China a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and the Opium War became the beginning of China's modern history.
(2)1June 856 to1June 860, Britain, France, the United States and Russia launched the Second Opium War, plundered a large number of gold, silver and jewels, and divided China1500,000 square kilometers of land through unequal treaties, further deepening the degree of semi-colonization of China.
(3) From1894 to 1895, Japan launched the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and signed the Sino-Japanese treaty of shimonoseki, which greatly deepened the degree of semi-colonization of China.
(4) From1900 to 190 1 year, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China and signed the "Xin Chou Treaty" with China. This unequal treaty has added a new heavy burden to the people of China and seriously damaged the sovereignty of China. Since then, the Qing government has completely become a tool for imperialism to rule China. China was completely reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.
The basic characteristics of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in China ① The aggressive forces of capital imperialism not only gradually manipulated the financial and economic lifeline of China, but also gradually controlled the politics and governance of China, and increasingly became the decisive force dominating China.
(2) China's feudal forces colluded with foreign aggression forces and became the social foundation and ruling pillar for capital-imperialism to oppress and enslave the people of China. ?
(3) China's natural economy has been destroyed, but land ownership still exists and occupies a dominant position. ?
The national capitalist economy has emerged, but its development is slow and its strength is weak. ?
⑤ The economic, political and cultural development of various regions in China is extremely unbalanced, and it has been in a state of disunity for a long time.
⑥ Under the double oppression of capital-imperial power and feudalism (and later bureaucracy), the broad masses of people in China, especially farmers, became increasingly poor, went bankrupt in large numbers, and lived a life of hunger and cold without political power.
