After the founding of the publication of " Minbao ", in order to expand the influence of the revolutionaries ideologically, in 1905, he actively launched an attack on the reformist newspaper " Xinmin Congbao ". The two sides started a debate on the following issues:

first, whether to carry out national revolution. This is the center of the entire debate.

second, carry out the civil rights revolution?

Third, should we implement the state-owned land and the average land rights of ?

Fourth, will the revolution cause imperialist interference and lead to China's division?

In the debate, although "Xinmin Congbao" has some reasonable views, it generally violates the fundamental interests of the general public. "Minbao" generally grasps the voice of the people and the trend of the times, namely revolution. Under the leadership of the Minbao, the revolutionary newspapers overseas and Hong Kong also started a debate with local improved newspapers and magazines. The debate lasted for more than two years and ended with the failure of the reformists.

Reasons for the failure of "Xinmin Congbao":

First: The revolutionary path adhered to by Minbao is more in line with the people's wishes and requirements than the improvement path adhered to by Xinmin Congbao.

Second: The argument of "Minbao" is based on facts, and "Xinmin Congbao" is just a speculation and it is difficult to convince readers.

Third: Sun Yat-sen is in charge of the Minbao side, and more than 20 people participated in the debate; while "Xinmin Congbao" only has Liang Qichao .

The nature and significance of the debate:

1. This debate was a comprehensive and fierce political attack launched by the bourgeois revolutionaries to overthrow the corrupt feudal system. It was also a struggle between the revolutionary camp and the counter-revolutionary camp, the path of national democratic revolution and the semi-feudal semi-colonial , and a struggle related to China's future and destiny. On the major issue of "where China goes", the revolutionary faction had the upper hand.

2. This debate was a great ideological liberation movement. It made the Three Principles of the People deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the revolutionary thought of the bourgeoisie was widely spread. Many reformists also began to turn to the revolutionary faction. At the same time, through the debate, the revolutionaries also cultivated a group of revolutionary backbones.
