摘要
全面抗战爆发后,日本为断绝中国的海上交通线而封锁了中国海岸,并强行搜查过往船只。此举严重侵害英国的在华经济利益和国家尊严。但英国因实力不济而被迫向日本妥协。但在另一方面,英国却顶住日本压力,坚持开放香港作为海外援华物资的中转站,并联合法美施压日本,迫使后者没有立即占领海南岛,从而基本确保了香港等援华物资海上交通线的安全。这说明抗战初期英国的远东政策具有双重性。
After the outbreak of Sino-Japanese War, Japan blocked Chinese costal line and searched the vessels past by force to cut the aid to China through maritime communication, which seriously encroached Britain＇ s national interests and dignity. Britain had to compromised to Japan for its lack of enough force. But on the other hand, Britain resisted the pressure from Japan and sticked to open Hong Kong as transportation of the aid supply to China. Britain, with US and France, made joint diplomatic efforts and made Japan cease to occupy Hainan island. This action basically ensure the security of Hong Kong, the transportation of marine communication. These prove Britain imple- mented dual policy towards Far East in the initial stage of Sino-Japanese War.
