Abstract

When the Qing dynasty was defeated by Japan in the Sino-Japanese War, Chinese intellectuals started finding out the way that China would be strong and Japan had been strengthened. And They found out the reason of being powerful of Japan, that’s because Japan had been sending the students to west to learn more advanced and modern culture. So Qing dynasty formulated the policy encouraging Chinese intellectuals to study in Japan, and after the Russo-Japanese War, the movement to study in Japan by Chinese intellectuals had been booming in early 20th century. Dai Ji-tao went to Japan to study in 1905 and Li Da-zhao went to Japan to study in 1914, the booming years to study in Japan both in late Qing dynasty and early Republic of China. During studying in Japan, Dai Ji-tao had been attracted in Japanese characteristic and superiority. But after coming back homeland, he changed his attitude to Japan and criticized Japanese imperialism, because Japan had started walking down the road of imperialist. After studying in Japan, Li Da-zhao accepted western style democracy through Japanese modern academic circumstance but strongly opposed ‘Pan-Asianism’ that several intellectuals in Japan insisted at that time. And he advocated ‘New-Asianism’ that insist alliance of weaker nations and resistance to ‘Pan-Asianism’. Eventually he proposed world alliance in that allied weaker nations tried to join. In terms of nation he tried to correct the ways of Japan’s foreign policy, even if he accepted modern political thought during his stay in Japan.
