Japan easily defeated China in the Sino-Japanese War thanks to its better trained and equipped military.

The first Sino-Japanese war was fought between the Qing Dynasty of China and the Japanese Empire from August 1894 to April 1895, mainly for the control of Korea. After more than six months of uninterrupted victories of the Japanese Armed Forces, as well as the taking of the Chinese port of Weihai, China requested peace in February 1895.

The war was a clear indication of the failure of the Qing Dynasty's attempt to modernize its armed forces and defend itself against threats to its sovereignty, especially compared to the military success of Japan after the Meiji Restoration, based on its modern and well equipped armed forces. For the first time, regional dominion in East Asia passed from China to Japan, and the prestige of the Qing Dynasty, along with the classical tradition in China, suffered a severe blow. The humiliating loss of Korea as a vassal state of the Qing dynasty caused unprecedented public protests. In China, the defeat was a catalyst for a series of revolutions and political changes led by Sun Yat-Sen and Youwei Kang. These tendencies would manifest themselves later in the Revolution of 1911, which ended the monarchy.

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another.   the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.  

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
