What is the sign that China's natural economy began to disintegrate?

The sign that China's natural economy began to disintegrate is the decline of handmade cotton textile industry. Bankrupt cottage industry cotton textile industry and its separation from agriculture. The cotton textile industry, which combines male farming and female weaving, small-scale peasant economy and cottage industry, is the main form of natural economy and the foundation of feudal system.

After the Opium War, capitalist countries relied on the protection of invasion privilege and the competitive advantage of high quality and low price of machinery and industrial products, and the number of goods exported to China increased by 3.5 times compared with that before the war, of which cotton textiles accounted for 70% of the total value. Some rural areas specializing in textiles have been greatly affected by the southeast coast, which used to be "the world with clothes and quilts". The gradual bankruptcy of household handmade cotton textile industry has caused the separation of agriculture and textile, which is a major symbol of the disintegration of natural economy.

Reasons for the disintegration of natural economy The capitalist aggression is the primary reason for the disintegration of natural economy in China. After the Opium War, the foreign powers used the privilege of aggression to dump goods and plunder raw materials in China, which involved China in the capitalist market, and China's natural economy gradually disintegrated. Secondly, the continuous expansion of the domestic market is the premise of the disintegration of the natural economy.

After the Opium War, China's commodity economy got unprecedented development, the commodity circulation was unprecedentedly active, and the domestic market expanded, especially the proportion of handicrafts and agricultural products in circulation increased, which constantly induced the purpose of agricultural production to change from natural economy to commodity economy.
