What kind of place is the colony? What is the meaning of colonization?

Colony is a Chinese vocabulary, which refers to countries and regions that are exploited economically, invaded culturally and enslaved politically by the suzerain. Originally meant to be immigrants, farming on wasteland can be used as a trade outpost or a military base. After that, it refers to the immigrant settlement established by a country in its conquered area (country) to obtain new resources for the suzerain country.

Colonies in the capitalist period, especially in the imperialist stage, refer to countries or regions whose territories are occupied, their sovereignty and independence are lost, they are completely ruled and dominated by capitalist powers politically and economically, and their purpose is to plunder various resources.

Colonies, in a broader sense, also include protectorates and vassals. The emergence of colonies is closely related to the emergence and development of capitalist mode of production.
