全面抗战前期中英出口信贷交涉

The Sino-British Loan Negotiation in Eary Stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan

全面抗战爆发后,中国对英国提出信贷请求,英国因担忧风险较大而未同意。日本宣布东亚新秩序及美国提供信贷后,英国在1938年底决定对华提供出口信贷,希望以此提高对华出口。但因购料清单与担保问题,1939年8月第一笔信贷方才签字。英国政府提供担保,在伦敦为中国政府发行债券,是对华借款条件的突破。随即欧战爆发,英国仅提供信贷项下部分物资。日本加入轴心国与进攻印度支那后,在中方的再度请求下,英国决定以出口信贷作为援助中国的政治姿态。1941年6月中英签订第二笔信贷合约,对中方而言,借款条件优于第一笔信贷。国民政府通过中英信贷获得所需物资,赢得了更好的国际环境;英国通过借款维护了外交与经济方面的东亚利益。

The present paper,reconstructing the history,in which the British government made the first loans to China as late as August of 1939 and then gave China a loan again in June of 1941,when Japan had already been a member state of the Axis and invaded Indo-China,observes that exactly because of these loans,China obtained goods and materials for the war and the London regime maintained its diplomatic and economic interests in East Asia.
