A common view of the significance of the Reform Movement of 1898 sees it as advancing China’s modernization from technical to organizational reform. From the standpoint of goals this characterization is reasonable, but in terms of actual outcome the Re form Movement of 1898 failed to reforrn the political systern. Its chief significance in China’s early modernization is rather as the first relatively comprehensive mobilization for the capitalist modernization of society. In the realm of thought it introduced science and democracy.With regard to the quality of the populace, it laid the foundation for the engineering of th modern person. In the area of social construction, it led to the development of modern col lective consciousness. And in the economic order, it was the first step in the construction of capitalist economic ethics.
