| Research Abstract |
The modernization of Chinese society went on very slowly. Its process had to adapt itself to traditional structure. Owing to lack of so-called feudal autonomous community in such a centralized regime, making traditional districts into local self-governing body was very hard work. And so, unification of China as a nation state (supposed) was. But in the long run, it is sure that unification went on slowly and steadily. In early stage of the republican age, foreign China watchers thought that China was divided. But both the Pekin government and the southern Revolutionary government aimed at diplomatic policy on the premise that they represented whole unified China. Japanese ideologue claimed that Manchukuo was not a part of China But they were forced to use the phrase 'benevolent government and paradise (王道楽土)' quoted from Chinese classics to persuade Chinese subjects. They permitted tacitly that Manchuria and Mongolia were parts of China in 1912.
Anti-Malaria plan developed in Taiwan under Japanese colonial rule. This plan was applied in South-China and South East Asia under Japanese occupation rule in 1930-1940 years. The New Life Movement by Jiang Jieshi, at least a part, modeled for Japanese life style.
Thus, Japanese Influence on modern China were omnipresent not only in political, military, economical spheres, but also in the fields of public health, body, daily manner and custom of Chinese.
