The year from 1927 to 1936 was the "Golden Decade" under the rule of the Kuomintang government. The ten-year period of China's foreign trade became increasingly active. Traditional imported goods, such as opium, cotton textiles, cotton yarn had declined markedly in proportion. And kerosene, machinery, dyes, iron and steel and other metals, as well as cotton, wheat and other agro-share growth of imports of raw materials grew quickly. Food import trade of the main species included rice, wheat and flour. Their Trade volumes had increased year by year. The main exports are beans. China had become a huge importer of grain crops largely due to the growing acreage, grain diverted, affecting food production, In addition, population growth and unequal tax policy are one of the reasons. An unprecedented severe economic crisis broke out in the capitalist world from 1929 to 1933. In order to pass the crisis, the United States, Japan and other countries dumped their surplus agricultural products to China. Thus foreign rice, wheat and flour poured into China. They made great impact on the domestic grain market and national flour industry. China's leading exports are soybeans. The capitalist economic crisis of 1929 and the Japanese occupation of Northeast of China made soybean exports reduce. The reduction of soybean exports damaged the interests of farmers and made serious damage to agriculture in the Northeast. Capitalist countries'dumping their surplus agricultural products in Chinese market caused great harm, which caused prices of agricultural products in China decrease greatly, so that the modern agriculture crisis slowly evolved into an unprecedented Great Depression of Agriculture. In short, modern China's grain import and export trade was, in fact, an unfair international trade, in which capitalist countries'dumped rice, wheat and wheat flour into China by using power, robbed soybeans and other agricultural products.
