The Nationalist Government's Deliberation and Adjustment of Trade Policy around Occupied Areas
At the beginning of the Comprehensive Anti-Japanese War,the Nationalist Government practiced a policy of economic extinction in dealing with trade relations with the occupied areas.However,after the scarcity of supplies in the rear areas intensified,in April 1940,Chiang Kai-shek began to seek a change in the policy of economic isolation,proposing the use of smuggling to import supplies from the occupied areas.He Yingqin rejected the proposal of the Bureau of Transportation and Control and determined that the Ministry of Transportation should be the main promoter of the"use of smuggling"business,which was approved by Chiang.However,the Ministry of Transportation led the study for a year and failed to implement it.In May 1941,Chiang gave this task to Dai Li.Dai's efforts to promote this work were hampered by a number of departments,and Dai repeatedly offered to resign.Under Chiang's scrutiny,the"Freight Transportation Administration"was established in April 1943,with the support of Kung Hsiang-hsi.The work of the Freight Transportation Administration was quite effective.From the economic cut-off to the"use of smuggling",and then to the implementation of the purchase of goods,the implementation of the time-consuming,reflecting the nationalist government and Chiang's decision-making delayed the ills of the disease is difficult to get up.
