近代云南大锡贸易与世界经济

On Yunnan's Tin Trade with the World in Modern Times

云南以东南亚和南亚地区为主要对象的商贸往来历史悠久。近代以后,云南大锡生产规模和产量上升迅速,加之蒙自开埠极大地促进了大锡的外销规模,滇越铁路开通拉动了大锡外运能力,云南对外贸易格局发生了巨变——欧洲工业品大量涌入,大锡开始执云南出口商品之牛耳,并在世界大锡市场上占据了一席之地,云南传统的进出口商品主体被颠覆。云南进出口贸易商品主体从此前的互补性商品发展为世界性商品,国际交换市场空间由早期的周边国家拓展至欧美,这些无疑都是云南与世界经济互相推动、紧密联系的结果。

Yunnan province has had a long history of trading with Southeast and South Asian areas,its two main traditional trading partners. Since the modern times,Yunnan saw great changes in its foreign trade pattern. As tin industry grew rapidly in scale and output,Mengzi as an emergent commercial port greatly expanded tin export and the newly built Yunnan-Vietnam railway enhanced the transport capacity for tin export. Tin became the biggest of all Yunnan export commodities and began to hold a share of the global tin market. Meanwhile,industrial products from Europe started to pour into Yunnan. The main imports and exports of Yunnan underwent a fundamental change--from traditional regional complementary commodities to world commodities. The international exchange market expanded from neighbor countries to Europe and America. All of these changes were unquestionably the result of Yunnan＇s intimate interaction and connection with the world economy.
