Study on the Match Industry in Northeastern China During the Late Qing and Republic of China Period(1906-1930)
Match industry in northeastern China began in the beginning of 20th century.During the late Qing Dynasty and Republic of China period,the match industry in northeastern China emerged and continued to develop from import to self-production and self-marketing.At the same time,the Japanese capital also began to run match factories in the Northeast and gradually monopolized the northeastern match industry.China's national match manufacturing enterprises were not willing to show weakness and competed with them.With the Swedish match companies'entry into the northeastern market,Japan's domination of the match industry in Northeast China was temporarily suspended.Swedish match companies grew stronger and began to compete for the match market in Northeast China with Japanese match enterprises and Chinese national match enterprises,thus the match market in Northeast China became a three-party game.
