西方社会主义思潮、社会民主主义思潮在近代中国的传入

洋务运动时期,西方社会主义思潮开始从欧洲传入中国。到19世纪末20世纪初时,西方社会主义思潮大量传入中国,但其主要来源地变成了日本;也正是在这个时期,社会民主主义思潮伴随各色社会主义思潮传入了中国。但此时,不少中国人已十分清楚社会主义与社会民主主义的区别,他们并非盲目地接受或宣扬社会民主主义,而是出于各自的理性选择。

Introduction of the Western Socialist Thinkings and Social Democratic Thinking into China in Modern Times

The Western Socialist Thought began to spread into China from Europe in the Westernization Movement. To the late 19th and early 20th century ,large quantities of the Western Socialist Thought spread into China, and Japan became the main source. At the same time, the Western Social Democratic Thought spread into China along with various kinds of Socialism Thought. But at this time, many Chinese people were very well aware of the difference between Socialism and Social Democracy, so they did not blindly accept or preach Social Democracy;instead, they did that on the basis of their own rational choices.
