1949年美英对华“共同经济阵线”的缘起

The Origin of U.S.-UK Anti-China Common Economic Front in 1949

1949年初,在美国推动下,美英开始酝酿对华贸易禁运“共同经济阵线”。由于两国对华政策目标和利益诉求迥异,在“共同经济阵线”酝酿过程中,美英围绕对中国香港禁运、对华禁运物资和其他国家对华禁运多边合作等问题进行多次协商与谈判。朝鲜战争爆发后,在美国高压之下,虽然“共同经济阵线”得以建立,但美英围绕上述问题的分歧始终存在,英国在华经济利益亦遭到严重冲击。这也为英国率先打破“共同经济阵线”埋下了种子。

The present paper,looking back the history,in which the U.S.invited the UK to build a common economic front launching a trade embargo on China in 1949 and this front was finally set up with the U.S.'s heavy hand in its aggressive war against Korea,points out that,due to differing goals and interests,Washington and London regimes could not reach consensus on issues such as the embargo on Hong Kong,China and eventually the UK broke this front as its economic interests were damaged.
