What is China’s political self-reinforcement?
China’s political self-empowerment is from the 1860s to the 1890s of the New Age. China’s self-reinforcement is literally a period of reforms that were aimed at strengthening the industrial, financial and military sectors of the state in order to resist foreign intervention from Japan and Western states.
The main task of self-reinforcement was the formation of a Chinese naval base on the principle of Western European countries, but without much borrowing of European values of diplomacy and politics.
At the first stage, most of the reforms concerned the creation of a combat-ready army, at the second – the construction of the industrial and agricultural sector, at the third – the development of education and political life in the Celestial Empire.
