Why do you want industry to save the country? Is the road to national salvation feasible?

It is not feasible to resist foreign aggression by saving the country with industry.

At the end of the Qing dynasty, there appeared a trend of thought, that is, learning from the west, developing national industry and commerce, and saving the country through industry. Under the influence of this ideological trend, the national bourgeoisie rebelled against the old ideas of the previous generation, developed national industry and commerce and resisted foreign aggression. On the one hand, traditional China is a society with only the concept of the world and no national concept, and it is not easy to produce national spirit. On the other hand, some industrialists actually have ideas and blueprints for the new world, but their own ideas have not become the national spirit. Apart from the lack of national spirit, they have not become the spiritual pillar of most entrepreneurs' actions. Coupled with the development of China's national industry, it inevitably played a role in resisting foreign economic aggression, so the ideological trend of saving the country by industry at that time was patriotic and progressive. However, China's national industry is sandwiched between imperialism and feudalism, so it is impossible to change the semi-colonial and semi-feudal social nature. China's national economy cannot develop normally, and saving the country by industry is just a pipe dream.
