The Chinese Communistic Revolution showed the transformation from the period of chaos to that of rule; the former is generally said to continue for about 80 years from the end of the Ch'ing dynasty, 1939.
Then the Ch'ing dynasty got so extremely weakened in its national power because of the sudden increase of population, the inveterate corruption of the government officials, the absence of the new industrial technique and science, and the prevalence of comprador capital that it became to be under the Western Imperialistic Force and to undergo the great conflict between the innovative force and the conservative one.
Though succeeding to establish the republican from of government for the moment in 1912, the innovative force failed to carry out the reform because of the reaction-warlord force, and another period of chaos came to exist.
In this period, the New Cultural Movement and the Peking May Fourth Movement (1919) were developed by the nationalistic innovative force who had the aspect of antiimperialism and of anti-feudalism. Some of this force were much interested in Communism prevailed in China with the Russian Revolution, and they were divided into the Western Democratic innovative force and the Communistic one to be opposed to and to struggle each other.
The conclusion of this study is that the object of the revolution in China was not the destruction of the existing authority but the establishment of the new government. The democratic revolution in the Western was the struggle for the individual's freedom and equality, while the revolution in China emphasized the national power and the racial solidarity, which shows the oriental aspect.
