Relying on the political power, executive measures and legal means, it influenced the national economy and social reproduction by means of direct intervention, adjustment, controlling and domination. As a special economic management model, it had the features of high degree of state monopoly and administrative planning. Under the participation and guidance of the industrial enterprises in the Japanese military forces, with the unified co-ordination of "Manchukuo" government, the economic control policy of "Hung Yen province" in Japanese occupation period was in full swing in the eastern Inner Mongolia region's national economy.The economic control policy of "Hung Yen province" in Japanese occupation period was the implementation of "Manchuria and Mongolia Policy" and the key to the overall objectives of the eventual realization of the "mainland policy"; It was the crucial component of the Japan's economic control policy system to implement over indigenous and colonial domination or occupation areas and was an important part of the economic control policy of "Manchukuo" as well.It was also a significant economic measure to achieve economy dependent on Japan-oriented, client-oriented, integrated colonization in the eastern part of Inner Mongolia through the participation of Japan's military forces and industrial enterprises and guidance of "Manchukuo" government.
