A historical exploration of Japan's fishing invasion in Shanghai during the Republic of China period
During the Republic of China period(1912-1949),Japan's invasion of China's fishery resources not only involved direct fishing by fishing vessels and dumping into the Shanghai fish market,but also covert fishing methods such as transporting fish from other ports such as the Liuhe River to Shanghai for sale by fish companies.In the face of Japan's invasion and destruction of China's fisheries,the government took measures such as diplomatic negotiations with Japanese envoys,delineation of territorial sea boundaries,and the establishment of navigation bans to restrict Japanese fishing vessels.The people also spontaneously established organizations such as the Shanghai Fish Industry Chosen Goods Inspection Committee to resist Japan's fishing invasion.However,the measures taken by the National Government were unable to eradicate Japanese fishing invasions at the root,the effectiveness of the implementation of various policies was greatly reduced,and the spontaneous actions taken by the private sector to combat Japanese fishing invasions were also ineffective.Japan's fishing invasion intensified.
