There is a diversity of party systems and great differences in value orientation, political parties and party systems in East Asian countries are the result of the collision and integration of eastern and western political civilizations and the product of the specific political and social environment in East Asia. There are many factors influencing the political development of political parties in East Asia, including historical and cultural factors, colonialism, economic and social development level, international environment and other factors, all of which have exerted a strong influence on the political development of political parties in East Asia. After World Warii, party politics in east Asian countries experienced three major stages of development, various factors promote the political transformation of East Asian parties and the characteristics after the transformation. East Asian countries have generally experienced tortuous political development, it is not only influenced by the western political model, but also influenced and restricted by its own history, culture and social conditions.
