滇越铁路对近代云南社会和经济的影响

The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway's Influence on the Economy and Society of Modern Yunnan

滇越铁路是云南历史上的第一条铁路。它的修建是十九世纪末、二十世纪初帝国主义侵略中国,在中国划分势力范围的结果。法帝国主义通过滇越铁路的修建,操纵它的管理权,大量推销他们的商品,获取廉价的农产品和矿产资源,严重影响着云南的经济和社会发展,给我国人民特别是云南人民带来了深重灾难。

The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway was the first railway ever built in the history of Yunnan. It was a result of the imperialist countries invading China and dividing it into their spheres of influence in the late 1800s and early 1900s.With the construction of the railway and by monopolizing its operation, the French dumped their goods and grabbed cheap farm produce and mineral resources, gravely hindering the economic and social development of Yunnan and inflicting great misery upon the Chinese people, specially the people of Yunnan.
