近代日本对鸦片问题的认识及对中国台湾鸦片殖民特权的构建

Japan's Attitudes on Opium and Its Construction of the Opium Colonial Privilege in Taiwan China Area

继以英国为首的西方殖民列强向中国倾销鸦片,并以坚船利炮促使国门洞开进而催生鸦片问题后,作为后发的帝国主义国家,日本对鸦片战争的经验教训及鸦片本身的认识不断发生变化,一方面为免遭鸦片毒害,通过颁布禁止鸦片进口的法令规避鸦片威胁,另一方面又难掩对鸦片利润的贪婪及对扩大资本市场的追逐。日本对鸦片问题这种由“危机”到“获利”的认识转变,促使其于甲午战争后在中国台湾建立鸦片殖民特权,不仅通过聚敛大量财富巩固其殖民统治,而且成为其进一步扩大对中国鸦片侵略的恶例。

After witnessing the Opium War in China,Japan's attitudes on opium changed a lot.On the one hand,Japan issued laws prohibiting the import of opium.On the other hand,Japan cannot resist its greed for opium profits and the pursuit of expanding the capital market.Therefore,from"crisis"to"profit",Japan established its opium colonial privilege in Taiwan China area after the Sino-Japanese War to not only make a great fortune,but also further expand its opium aggression.
