徐泰来同志在探讨中国洋务运动失败,日本明治维新成功与西方列强的关系时认为:日本地处中国这块大肥肉之旁,列强都想吞噬这块大肥肉.于是,英美利用日本作为牵制帝俄而侵略中国的工具,这样,就不但放松了对日本的侵略,反而扶植日本.日本倒幕派利用列强的矛盾,得到了英国的支持…….明治政府成立后,它很快获得了列强的一致承认.后来,明治政府的内外政策始终得到英国的支持.这一点也是洋务运动所不曾有的条件.”这些看法粗读感到有道理,真从思考则觉得用这些论点来说明治维新成功,洋务运动失败的外部条件,确是似是而非,故特提出我们的不同看法以就教于学术界. Comrade Xu Tailai, in discussing the failure of the Westernization Movement and the successful relations between Japan’s Meiji Reform and the Western powers, said: Japan is located next to China’s big fat and the powers want to swallow the big fat meat. Therefore, Britain and the United States use Japan as a deterrent Imperialist and Russian aggression against China, so that it not only relaxed its aggression against Japan but instead fostered Japan, and the Japanese rebel group won the British support for using the contradictions between the powers and strongholds .... After the establishment of the Meiji government, it quickly gained power Later, the Meiji government’s domestic and foreign policies have always been supported by the United Kingdom, which is also the condition that the Westernization Movement did not have. "These views are sensible to read, really thinking that these arguments are used to illustrate the successful rejuvenation, The external conditions for the failure of the Westernization Movement are really paradoxical. Therefore, we put forward our different views to teach in academia.
