The Japen Complex of Sun Yat - sen

The bourgeois democratic revolution led by Sun Yet - sen was based overseas, Japan being a major base. In Japan, Sun Yat - sen associated with both ordinary people and people from the government to win their support and sympathy for the revolution in China, and launched revolutionary activities which gave an impetus to the revolution at home. This shows his Japan complex. The complex has its limitations and weakness but shows Sun' s broad - mindedness. His association with Japanese people spread overseas the influence of the Chinese revolution, which imbued it with internationalism . The complex reveals that Sun was a nationalist and an internationalist as well.
