On Japan's Opium Policy In Northeast China

Since Japan invaded China,opium has been used to poison China.Japan's opium policy is closely related to the changes in the war situation.In the early opium policy,the Japanese aggressors aimed at plundering huge wealth and consolidating colonial rule.With the further expansion of imperialist ambition,the Japanese aggressors launched the "July 7th Incident" in 1937,and began a comprehensive war of aggression against China.The overall war of resistance of the Chinese people also began.At this time,Japan is facing a new political,economic and military situation different from the past.In light of this new situation,Japanese imperialism has also changed its previous policies in order to better support its war of aggression.It is mainly manifested in two aspects:first,in order to maintain its international image and ease the pressure of public opinion,it made the attitude of "banning" opium,but in essence,it was banned openly and practically;on the other hand,after the outbreak of the Pacific War,the Opium Policy in Northeast China was also incorporated into Japan's war-time general force war system,which became the focus of supporting the war.Means.Throughout Japan's opium policy,although the forms are different,in essence,its starting point is the same.It serves Japan's aggressive policy and reflects Japan's aggressive needs in different periods.The opium policy pursued by Japan in Northeast China and the occupied areas is not only an organized,planned and strategic state act,"a genuine state organ crime",but also one of the war crimes committed by Japan.In a word,Japan's aggressive war against China is not only a political war,military war and economic war,but also a "drug war".This paper takes the Opium poisoning policy pursued by Japan in Northeast China as the research object,takes the relationship between the Opium poisoning policy and the war of aggression as the breakthrough point,chooses the "July 7th Incident" as the demarcation point,combines historical data,analyses the motivation of Japan's opium poisoning,expounds its specific implementation measures,and studies the change of Japan's opium poisoning policy.The internal mechanism of transformation.First of all,Japan's opium poisoning policy is the inevitable outcome of the war of aggression.Its purpose is to accumulate wealth and dispel anti-Japanese sentiment for the war of aggression against China.Secondly,Japan's opium poisoning policy changed with the changes of the war.The early opium policy focused on economic interests.In the early days of the July 7th Incident,in order to ease the pressure of international public opinion,the anti-smoking policy was even adopted for a time.However,after the outbreak of the Pacific War,Japan completely tore the mask of hypocrisy and openly supported the Opium trade,which had obvious political purposes.Finally,Japan's opium poisoning policy has brought serious harm to Northeast China and its people.On the one hand,it destroys the national independence of Northeast China,on the other hand,it destroys the economic structure of Northeast China,makes the people live in the deep and overheated water,and brings a series of social problems.In short,Japan's opium poisoning policy in the Northeast is an important part of the general policy of Japan's war of aggression against China,and its ultimate goal is to serve the war of aggression against China.
