On the surface, comprador is a profession, which was born by China under the oppression of western capitalism. Compradors are used to help European and American countries to conduct bilateral trade with China, but mainly rely on foreigners to do things for them, so as to get rich.

So is the comprador a traitor? I don't think we can say that everything has two sides. Compradors do serve foreign businessmen, but in history, the comprador class promoted the development of Westernization Movement and gave birth to democratic capitalism in China. The comprador class is represented by four families: Jiang, Song, Kong and Chen, whose power has expanded rapidly with the invasion of capitalism. Because their main function is to help foreign companies buy local goods and sell foreign goods, they have become one of the tools and means of capitalist aggression. While China's economy is declining, they are getting rich. At that time, this kind of behavior was indeed spurned by people, but today, the emergence and development of comprador played an important role in the development of modern China, and its influence is indelible. According to the data, from 1868, China's export trade was1250,000 taels, and reached 973 million taels by 19 13. ".Without the comprador as an intermediary agent, the western invaders could not have gained the market breadth of China at that time. It can be said that the comprador objectively promoted the development of China's foreign trade, and the comprador bourgeoisie was the product of foreign aggression against China. With the arrival of capitalism, China's self-sufficient feudal natural economy gradually disintegrated, and China's agriculture, light industry and even heavy industry have developed to a certain extent, which is conducive to China's modernization.
