Japan's Attitudes on Opium and Its Construction of the Opium Colonial Privilege in Taiwan Area
After witnessing the Opium War in China, Japan's attitudes on opium changed a lot. On the one hand, Japan issued laws prohibiting the import of opium. On the other hand, Japan cannot resist its greed for opium profits and the pursuit of expanding the capital market. Therefore, from "crisis" to "profit", Japan established its opium colonial privilege in Taiwan area after the Sino-Japanese War to not only make a great fortune, but also further expand its opium aggression.
