唐继尧与中国近代化

Tang Jiyao and the Modernization of China

唐继尧在云南筹办市政、改革教育、实行市乡自治、整理交通等,尝试着从半殖民地半封建半资本主义经济向资本主义经济的转型和过渡,推动了云南的近代化进程。同时,唐继尧始终以国事为已任,活跃于国家政治及军事活动中,不自外,不自小,为实现统一中国的目标,与北京政府、孙中山广州政府之间合纵连横,加强了云南"边陲"与内地"中央"之间的联系与凝聚,推动了中国的近代化历程,有利于中国历史发展的整体性。

Tang Jiyao made efforts to establish municipal administration, start educational reform, practice autonomous governance of city and village, and improve transportations, attempting to realize the transformation from the semi - colonial, semi - feudal and semi - capitalist economy to that of capitalism, which had promoted the modernization of Yunnan in the first half of the 20th century. Tang was dedicated to the national affairs, active in the political and military activities of the state and engaged in the unification of the whole nation. He managed to establish alliances with both the Beijing Government and Sun Yat- sen＇s Government in Guangzhou, having strengthened the connections between Yunnan, the Southwest China＇ s border area, with the interior ＂Central Government＂. His endeavors had been conducive to the modernization of China and to the integrity of China in its historical development.
