台糖外销与近代台湾银行向上海的金融扩张

Export of Taiwan Sugar and Financial Expansion of the Bank of Taiwan to Shanghai in Modern Times

台湾银行自1899年于台北成立后,便不断向邻近的华南地区扩张势力。伴随业务的推进,1906年台湾银行开始谋划在上海设立营业点,企图将势力进一步向华东地区和长江流域扩展。但此计划却意外地遭到日本大藏省的极力反对。直至1911年,因台湾地区出现严重的糖业过剩危机,借助台糖外销中国内地的“机遇”,上海分行才最终得以成立。通过探究上海分行设立的曲折经历,可发现其背后深受近代日本对国策银行的“分业主义”指导方针、以及日本在东亚“北进南守”扩张政策等多重因素的影响。上海分行的创立,成为日据殖民地的台湾银行向中国内地金融侵略过程中的一个重大转折点。

Since its establishment in Taipei in 1899,the Bank of Taiwan(BOT)has continuously expanded its power to neighboring south China.With the promotion of business,in 1906,the BOT began to plan to set up a business office in Shanghai in an attempt to further expand its power to East China and the Yangtze River Basin.However,the plan was unexpectedly met with strong opposition from the Japanese Ministry of the Treasury.Until 1911,due to the severe sugar surplus crisis in Taiwan,the Shanghai branch was finally established under Taiwan’s region sugar export opportunities in the Chinese mainland.By exploring the twists and turns of the establishment of the Shanghai Branch,we can find that it was deeply influenced by many factors,such as the“division of labor”guideline of Japan’s national policy banks and Japan’s expansion policy of“advancing north and defending south”in East Asia.The establishment of the Shanghai branch became a major turning point in the process of financial aggression of the BOT to the Chinese mainland.
