盛宣怀辩

Argument about Sheng Xuan-huai

盛宣怀一生复杂而矛盾,集封建性、近代资产阶级性、买办性、民族性于一身,但盛推动了中国近代工商业由"官办"向"官督商办"的体制转换,是这一颇具改革与创新意义"官督商办"体制的倡导者、策划者、实践者和代表人物之一。盛宣怀与洋商有斗争,有妥协,但妥协是斗争中的妥协,是企业竞争中的妥协,并不影响其所创所督办企业的民族性。

Sheng Xuan-huai' life was a complicated and contradictory one,being quite a blend of feudalistic, modern bourgeois,comprador-feudal and nationalism.However,it was Sheng Xuan-huai who'd promoted the transmission of modern Chinese industrial and commercial system,from'offical operating'to'merchant operating under official supervision'.Sheng was one of the advocates,planners practicers and representatives of the merchant operating under official supervision system,which was rather revolutionary and innovative.There existed both fighting and negotiation between Sheng and foreign merchants, but they were the fighting and enterprises' competition negotiation .Sheng's compromise wouldn't affect the nationalism of the enterprise supervised and operated by him.
