What do you mean by colony and colonization?

1. Colonies refer to countries and regions that are economically exploited by suzerain and politically enslaved by suzerain. The original meaning refers to the resettlement on the wasteland, which can be used as a trade outpost or a military base. Later, it generally refers to the immigrant settlement established by a country in its conquered area (country) to obtain new resources for the suzerain country.

2. Colonization means that a powerful country immigrates to the area it conquered and plunders all the interests of the original local people. Now it generally refers to capitalist countries expanding their economic and political power to underdeveloped countries or regions and plundering and enslaving local people.

Extended data:

The mutual influence and relationship between colonies.

Colonization reflects the contrast between colonial countries and colonized countries and regions. Most immigrants from colonial countries enjoy superior political rights in colonies than local residents and have obvious racial and ethnic discrimination. This has done great harm to the personality and dignity of indigenous people.

The religion, culture, economy and productivity of a colony are generally greatly improved under the influence of colonization, which often becomes an excuse for colonists to show their dignity. They pretended to be saviors by bringing civilization, advanced culture and advanced tools to the colonies, so as to cover up the nature of their aggression, plunder, exploitation and oppression and their wrong foothold. This is typical robber logic. In this sense, the colonial people will not appreciate it.

Once the people's democratic consciousness awakens and the national consciousness intensifies, the struggle for colonial independence intensifies, and the colonial pattern and achievements, as well as life and property, are even destroyed by extreme practices, causing huge losses. The China government initiated the smooth return of the colony when it regained the sovereignty of Hong Kong and Macao, which should be a model of sovereign diplomacy between countries.
