Abstract: Abstract The history of world economic development highlights the quality of government work and control of social resources in the transformation process. High quality of government work provides the correct future direction, while strong government control means the ability to lead the national realization of development based on appropriate objectives. In short, only those with a strong modern orientation and strong government social control will be successful. A government with only one regime is unable to meet the conditions for success. Unfortunately, the late Qing government was neither modern-oriented nor characterized by a strong internal control regime. Thus, it was expected that the outcome of Westernization would be unsatisfactory.
