What was the social situation in China in 1930s?

The germination of China's modernization in 1930s was promoted by the exploration of China's modernization in the past century, which was based on China's economic and social development. The international inducements were the great crisis of the capitalist world, Japanese invasion of China and the rapid development of the Soviet Union.

It is reflected in the intellectuals' discussion of modernization, the Kuomintang's choice of modernization mode and the * * * production party's exploration of modernization road, which shows the tendency and trend of socialism from both subjective and objective aspects.

Its significance and enlightenment lie in: the opening of modernization needs the extensive participation of the people, and its implementation must be strongly promoted by the government; The choice of modernization must proceed from the national conditions; The realization of modernization is inseparable from a good international environment.

Academics have always disputed whether China's modernization process started with the Opium War, Westernization Movement, Reform and Reform, or the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty, the Revolution of 1911, and the May 4th Movement. There are differences on the concepts of modernization, industrialization, Westernization, etc., but the real use of this concept appeared in the 1930s.

During this period, the great discussion on "modernization" and the Communist Party of China (CPC)'s practical exploration formed the real bud and important turning point of China's modernization, which influenced and decided the socialist tendency and trend of China's modernization.

Extended data:

Capitalism once created huge productive forces, representing the development direction of human society for a period of time, but it could not solve its own chronic diseases and jump out of the strange circle of economic crisis. With the development of capitalism, the economic crisis is more serious, which was confirmed in the great crisis of 1929- 1933.

A great crisis broke out in the United States and quickly spread to the whole capitalist world, leading to the coming to power of German and Japanese fascists. In order to pass on the crisis and establish a world hegemony plan, the Japanese began to invade China on a large scale. The deepening of the Chinese national crisis has revived people's long-standing desire to "save the country through industry" and "save the country and strive for strength".

After the First World War, people were guided by the prosperous social scene and great construction achievements of the Soviet Union, with doubts about western civilization. The great contrast between the disillusionment of the capitalist "myth" and the socialist glory of the Soviet Union makes the advanced people who think and explore China's modernization road more pragmatic and inclined.
