The Foreign Trade of Salt and the Transformation of Salt Industry in Modern China:Revolving around the Sino-Japanese Negotiations on Liaodong Salt and Tsingtao Salt
In 1906,negotiations surrounding the export of Liaodong salt between the local government of Northeastern China during the late Qing Dynasty and the Japanese'Kwantung'colonial authorities proved unfruitful,highlighting an issue with the foreign trade of Chinese salt,which was not strictly prevalent in the traditional era.Following China's transition into the Republic era,the industrialization of salt production instigated profound changes in the structure of products and the direction of resources in China's existing salt market,which formed the economic backdrop for the successful resolution of the Sino-Japanese salt negotiations in Qingdao in 1926.Underlying the different outcomes of the two sets of salt negotiations was the impact of emerging foreign trade activities in salt industry on the traditional evolution logic of salt administration.On a deeper level,the root cause was the gradual transition from table salt industry to salt chemical industry within the modern salt industry.
