Direct Japanese investment in China during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression meant frenzied predation. In the initial stage of the war, the Japanese government focused on bringing Northeast China into its wartime economic system and on the creation of "an integrated Japanese and Manchurian wartime economic structure" in order to ensure and expand Japanese investment in "Manchukuo." During their occupation of North and Central China, the Japanese armed forces, in the name of confiscating "public property of the enemy," put all important defense industries under "military control" and rapidly put them back into production to provide Japan with much needed strategic materials that were in short supply.
