Japan's Invasion of China's Tea Market in Modern Times and Its Impact
Since the mid-19th century,due to significant changes in the international tea production areas,con-sumer markets,and modes of transportation,the ancient tea routes exporting Chinese tea abroad have been altered and diverted.Japan,as an emerging tea supplier in the world,has intensified its participation in the competition for market shares in international tea production and transportation,with China as its main rival and targeting the domes-tic and international sales and transportation markets in China.By collecting intelligence on China's tea production and sales markets,Japan has specifically targeted the market share of the Yangtze River waterway and its tributary shipping routes,as well as competing with Russia for the overland transportation market of the"Ten Thousand Mile Tea Road".The competition among powers such as Japan and Russia for China's tea market has led to the gradual withdrawal of Chinese tea from the overseas market,causing the decline of China's tea industry and related indus-tries.
