近代西方资本主义侵入对中国现代化发展的双重作用

Double Roles of Invasion of Western Capitalism on China's Modernization

近代西方资本主义侵入对中国现代化发展具有双重作用:一方面它惊醒了沉睡中的古老民族争睁眼看世界,带来了中国人思想观念上的更新,加速了旧制度的灭亡,给中国资本主义的发展带来了契机。但另一方面,列强武力侵略的野蛮行为、奴化意识、强取豪夺和对封建主义的支持保护,却又大大削弱了中国人向西方学习的动力,严重地阻碍了中国近代资本主义的发展,是中国迈向现代化发展的根本阻力。

Invasion of western capitalism played double roles on China＇s modernization. On one hand, it awakened China to the world, brought rebirth of Chinese views and chance of Chinese capitalism development. On the other hand, brutal invasion, enslaving and protection on feudalism weakened Chinese motivation to learn from the west and then blocked development of capitalism in China.
