“八一三”事变后日军进入长江流域,凭借军事优势封锁并逐渐垄断长江航运。此举严重损害了英国在华利益,为重开长江航运,英国与日本进行了漫长的交涉。由于欧洲局势的牵绊、在华军事力量不足以及美国的合作有限,英国政府采取了一面以强烈的言辞抗议,一面在实际行动中妥协退让的策略,甚至不惜牺牲中国的利益。尽管如此仍没能改变日本排斥欧美势力独占长江流域的野心,直到太平洋战争爆发,长江航运仍未开放。1941年12月8日,英日相互宣战后,英国在长江中下游所有的轮船码头均被日军没收,长江航运业由英日争霸的局面转变为日本独家垄断。
After the “August 13 Incident”, the Japanese army entered the Yangtze River Basin, with the military blockade and gradually monopolizing the shipping of the Yangtze River. The move seriously damaged Britain’s interests in China. To resume the shipping of the Yangtze River, Britain and Japan made long negotiations. Due to the tie-ups in Europe, the lack of military strength in China and the limited cooperation between the United States, the British government adopted a tactic of compromise and concession in actual actions even with strong rhetoric, even at the expense of China’s interests. Nevertheless, Japan has not been able to change Japan’s ambition to exclude the European and American forces from monopolizing the Yangtze River until the Pacific Ocean war broke out and the Yangtze River Shipping was not yet open. On December 8, 1941, after Britain and Japan declared war on each other, all the shipyards at the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were confiscated by the Japanese. The shipping industry in the Yangtze River was transformed from Japan to Japan as the exclusive monopoly by the hegemony of Britain and Japan.
