Ideological debate over democracy in China has existed in Chinese politics since the 19th century. Chinese scholars,thinkers,and policy-makers have debated about democracy,an idea which was first imported by Western colonial powers but which some argue also has connections to classic Chinese thinking. Starting in the mid-eighteenth century,many Chinese argued about how to deal with Western culture. Though Chinese Confucians were initially opposed to Western modes of thinking,it became clear that aspects of the West were appealing. Industrialization gave the West an economic and military advantage. The Qing dynasty's defeats in the Opium Wars compelled a segment of Chinese politicians and intellectuals to rethink their notion of cultural and political superiority.
