Japan had become the inspiration for all those who made up what the newspapers called “Young China,” the reformers and intellectuals who saw the country’s salvation in a modernization movement on the lines of Japan’s espousal of foreign ideas after the Meiji Restoration. By its defeat of China in 1895, Japan had forced them to face the reality of their country’s weakness. By its defeat of Russia ten years later, Japan had shown that an Asian army could defeat a European one. How was the nineteenth-century self-strengthening movement in China different than the Japanese action described in the passage?

Although in western Europe all the dust-producing carding and combing machines have long been covered and well ventilated, I saw only one Russian linen mill where such a machine was securely covered. Elsewhere, the spools of these machines were completely open to the air, and the scutching apparatus is inadequately ventilated. . . . In factory No. 135 the workers are still treated as serfs. Wages are paid out only twice a year, even then not in full but only enough to pay the workers’ taxes (other necessities are supplied by the factory store).

China was suffering one of its recurrent dynastic declines. Government became less efficient, intellectual life stagnated, and popular unrest surged. A cycle of renewal might have followed, with a new dynasty seizing more vigorous reins. But Western interference disrupted this process, complicating reform and creating various new discontents that ultimately overturned the imperial office. In contrast, Japan maintained political and economic vigor into the nineteenth century. Whereas by the late nineteenth century China needed Western guidance simply to handle such bureaucratic affairs as tariff collection and repression of peasant rebellion, Japan suffered no such breakdown of authority, using foreign advisors far more selectively. What does the passage indicate about the direction of modernization in the regions discussed?
