“Customs Quarantine” in Shanghai during the Late Qing Era
[Abstract]
Du Lihong

The mechanism of quarantine at ports was established in Shanghai in 1873, under the charge of customs authorities. During the 1894 outbreak of plague in Hong Kong, it was the foreign concessions fighting against the plague that eventually altered the singular quarantine mode, namely, “customs quarantine,” which combined the customsservice and concessions for quarantine on the one side and governing on the other. After 1899 quarantine in the standard sense was inaugurated through the establishment of two institutions—Chong Baosha Hospital and the Wusong Port Quarantine Bureau. Nonetheless, oversimplified, savage quarantine measures resulted in increasing anger among Chinese citizens, which led to the intervention of the Zongli Yamen. The Shanghai Customs thus promoted reforms to its quarantine procedures, encouraging donations from Chinese merchants to set up a quarantine hospital to the north of Wusong Port to accommodate infected Chinese, as well as endeavoring to reestablish the institution of quarantine at ports. The development of “customs quarantine” in Shanghai during the late Qing era indicates that quarantine at ports in this city went through a complicated process shaped by multiple local forces and cannot be viewed as a simply result of decisions by the customs authorities.

Political Conflict in Eastern Hebei After the Tanggu Truce: The Kailan Mining Company Strike of 1934 and the Countermeasures of China, Japan, and Britain

The Kailan Mining Company strike of 1934 was not only the result of structural contradictions in the employment system, but also closely related to the social and economic disorder caused by the Japanese invasion. The full reasons for the outbreak are somewhat obscure, but the main object of strikers was to reestablish labor unions that had been dissolved by the Hebei provincial government. For cracking down on the Guomindang’s infiltration in the demilitarized zone and monopolizing the coal market in North China, Japan chose Zhao Dazhong as their tool to control the leadership of the labor unions. The strike then became increasingly politicized. In order to protect overseas’ interests, the British government decided to steps to solve this problem. Because of internal and external pressures, Yu Xuezhong, the governor of Hebei Province, had to suppress the labor movement, and the GMD organs were asked to evacuate from demilitarized zone. This study not only highlights multiple aspects of local society in North China from a regional perspective, but also illustrates international relations in East Asia during the Anti-Japanese War from an international perspective. First, the destructive influences of the Second Sino-Japanese war not only led to deteriorating business conditions and labor relations, but also reflected that the Japanese army gradually became a key variable in the decision-making and social governance of local authorities in North China. Second, the period of the Anti-Japanese War saw intense competition between Britain and Japan over the control of the coal market in North China. The labor-capital conflict in the demilitarized zone was a direct reflection of the economic conflict between the Powers in China.

Key Link: Lin Wei and His General Staff Mission to Burma in the First Burma Campaign
[Abstract]

Regarding the first Burma campaign in 1942, the academic research results were very fruitful, which shows the importance it received. Among the narratives, Lin Wei and his General Staff Mission to Burma are often mentioned, but in-depth academic research has not yet been carried out. In fact, Lin Wei’s General Staff Mission to Burma in Lashio, the British High Command in Maymyo, and the Chinese Expeditionary Forces First Command Headquarters in Pyawbwe, the three high-level military units are very close to each other, and they all play certain roles. This campaign was the first time that the National Revolutionary Army went abroad to fight. The battlefield was far away and communication was inconvenient. The Nationalist Government National Military Council set up the General Staff Mission to Burma to supervise the operations of the expeditionary army. Its main tasks were guidance and communication. Examining the work of the General Staff Mission to Burma, it can be seen that the Mission is an important part of the National Revolutionary Army in the first Burma campaign. Its organization and operation specifically demonstrated Chiang Kai-shek’s leadership, as well as the development, characteristics and limitations of the National Revolutionary Army’s staff system.
