Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to meet the needs of the development of capitalism in Japan, the mainland policy was formulated.

After the Meiji Restoration, Japan embarked on the capitalist road. Japan is an island country with more people and less land, scarce resources and narrow domestic market. With the rise of its military strength, it has sprouted the ambition of foreign aggression and tried to find a way out in its external expansion. To this end, the "mainland policy" centered on China was formulated.
