How to understand the principal contradiction in modern China society and the two historical tasks faced by the Chinese nation?

1, the main contradictions in modern society: the contradiction between imperialism and the Chinese nation, feudalism and the masses of the people.

These two pairs of principal contradictions and their struggles run through the whole semi-colonial and semi-feudal society of China, and play a decisive role in the development and changes of modern China society.

The development and evolution of China's modern society is the result of the interweaving and alternation of the above two major contradictions. The Great Revolution in modern China took place and developed on the basis of these major contradictions and their intensification.

2. Two historical tasks: seeking national independence and people's liberation; Realize the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people. The relationship between the two historical tasks: both different and interrelated.

The difference is that the subject and content of the two are different. The former is to change the status and situation of the nation being oppressed and the people being exploited, and to fundamentally overthrow the ruling order of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in China and solve the problem of production relations; The latter is to change the backward position and situation of economy, culture and society in modern China, fully develop modern national industry and commerce, and solve the problem of productivity.

The connection is that only by completing the first task can we create conditions for the completion of the second task.

China's solution:

Facing the contradiction between imperialism and the Chinese nation, feudalism and the masses of the people, the solution of the people of China is to overthrow the three mountains of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism that are pressing on the people of China.

To this end, the peasant class carried out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and the Boxer Movement, the advanced elements of the landlord class carried out the Westernization Movement, the bourgeois reformers carried out the Reform Movement, and the bourgeois revolutionaries carried out the Revolution of 1911.

Although these struggles have dealt blows to feudalism and imperialism to varying degrees and promoted the progress of China society, objectively, due to the powerful forces of the enemy and subjectively, due to the limitations of various revolutionary classes, these struggles have finally failed.
