【摘要】 华侨是中华民族的一个特殊群体。晚清华侨之所以能够和愿意参与中国的现代化进程，是一系列因素共同作用的结果。海外的创业生涯使他们具备了必要的资本、技术、生产经验和创新意识。许多侨居地政府(特别是殖民主义者)的歧视和压迫，晚清政府的积极招徕，客观上促成了他们回国投资的行为。而热爱祖国、振兴中华的美好愿望，又成了他们回国投资的重要精神动力。经济现代化可以分为物质、制度和思想及行为三个层次。在非投资性经济活动中，晚清华侨提出了他们有关中国经济发展的思想主张，积极参加抵制美货运动和收回利权运动，积极响应晚清政府号召建立海外中华商会，也积极支持中国近代史上第一次全国性博览会的举办。所有这些非投资性经济活动，在制度、思想及行为层次上对晚清的经济现代化建设产生了一定的影响。在投资性经济活动中，晚清华侨在制造业、矿冶业、金融业、轮运业、农业、铁路交通业等行业领域均有程度不同的参与。他们不仅引进了新技术、新设备、新品种，而且采用新的资本主义的生产方式，有力地推动了这些行业的现代化进程，促进了一些地区的经济发展。晚清华侨参与中国经济现代化进程的历史表明，华侨是中国经济现代化建设中一支特殊的重要力量。他们不仅弘扬了经济现代化起步阶段迫切需要的产业革命精神，而且为资本匮乏的经济现代化补充了宝贵的资本，更为侨乡地区的经济现代化作出了重要的贡献。在中国正在为早日全面实现经济现代化而努力的今天，如何借鉴历史经验，在新形势下更好地发挥华侨华人的作用，是一个需要我们深入思考的课题。更多还原

【Abstract】 Overseas Chinese are a special group of the Chinese nation. The reason why theoverseas Chinese would like and were ready to join the modernization process of theChinese economy were the result of interactions among a series of factors. Their overseasstruggle prepared themselves necessary capitals, technology, manufacturing experience andcreative consciousness. The discrimination and oppression from the emigrating countries,positive attraction from the late Qing Court created the objective conditions, while theirpassion for the motherland and good wishes for developing the Chinese nation providedthemselves with an important spiritual motive.The economic modernization can be divided into triple levels: substance, system,ideology and action. Of the non-investment economic activities, the overseas Chinese inthe late Qing Dynasty put forward their ideas of Chinese economic development,positively took part in the campaign of rejecting American products and calling back thereasonable rights, establishing Chinese Overseas Chamber of Commerce by responding thelate Qing’s call, supporting China’s first national exposition during the modem history. Allof these non-investment economic activities exerted a certain influence on the late Qing’smodernizations on the levels of system, ideology and action.Of the investment economic activities, the overseas Chinese participated in allindustries like manufacturing, mining, financing, shipping, agriculture, railwaytransportation, etc. in varying degrees. They not only introduced new technologies, newequipments, new products, but also adopted new capitalist mode of production andeffectively advanced the modernization process in these industries and the economicdevelopment in some areas.The history of overseas Chinese participation in China’s economic modernizationprocess during the late Qing Dynasty indicated that the overseas Chinese were animportant special force for China’s economic modernizations. They not only carriedforward the revolutionary spirits of industry badly needed for the initial process ofeconomic modernization, but also made up the precious capital for invest-insufficienteconomic construction and made a great contribution to the economic development in theirown home towns. Nowadays, while China is endeavoring for realizing overall economicmodernization as earlier as possible, we need to take the overseas Chinese greater role intoaccount under such a new circumstance.更多还原
