鸦片战争以后,中国闭关自守的大门被帝国主义的大炮打开,中国开始一步步陷入半殖民地半封建社会的深渊。与政治形态相一致,这时期的中国对外贸易也体现出半殖民地半封建化性质。《南京条约》的签订标志着中外协定关税时代的开始,关税的自主权开始丧失,清朝对外贸易从“关闭”、“半关闭”到“放开”,从封建的独立自主地位滑到了半殖民地半封建化的深渊。清朝被推翻,民国初立,关税自主权不但没有恢复,反而地进一步沦丧,中国对外贸易情形未能好转。但南京国民政府建立后,即进行了关税自主活动,并取得了一些进展,对外贸易的性质因之也发生了细微的变化。本文拟就抗战爆发前南京国民政府对外贸易的性质问题作一简单的探讨。 After the Opium War, China’s closed doors were opened by imperialist artillery. China began to step into the abyss of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Consistent with the political situation, China’s foreign trade during this period also reflected the semi-colonial and semi-feudal nature. The signing of the “Nanjing Treaty” marked the beginning of the tariff era of the Sino-foreign agreement, and the autonomy of tariffs began to be lost. The foreign trade of the Qing dynasty shifted from “closed”, “semi-closed” to “released” and slipped from the feudal autonomy to semi-colonial and semi-feudal. The abyss of change. When the Qing Dynasty was overthrown and the Republic of China was established, the autonomy of tariffs has not only not been restored, but has also been further lost. The situation of China’s foreign trade has not improved. However, after the establishment of the Nanjing National Government, it carried out tariff autonomous activities and made some progress. The nature of foreign trade has also undergone slight changes. This article intends to make a simple discussion on the nature of the foreign trade of the Nanjing Nationalist Government before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.
