ABSTRACT

Tariffs are one of three major sources of tax revenue in the national financial income of China, and tariff rates hold tremendous significance in industrial development and in the composition of the domestic market. The emerging Manzhouguo had to exercise exclusive control by taking over the northeastern marine customs as a means of implementing an independent tariff policy. It was, however, an essential issue to the China government, Japan, and other powers that set tariffs as the security of foreign loan were intersecting each other sharply. The Chinese government complained about the illegal nature of Manzhouguo’s acquisition of northeastern maritime customs to the League of Nations and attempted to resolve the issue diplomatically via the capabilities of powers. The U.K., the U.S.A., and other powers, however, stressed the stability of paying foreign loans for tariffs and urged the Chinese government to reach a compromise with Manzhouguo. Manzhouguo kept its promise of sharing the burden of northeastern maritime customs regarding the payment of foreign debt security, thus preventing the issue from escalating into a case of national interference or into a diplomacy matter that would concern the powers. Given the changes to the Northeast Asian markets after the foundation of Manzhouguo, its revision of tariffs and acquisition of northeastern maritime customs as premises became important historical events.
