Abstract: In August 1945, Japan accepted the Potsdam Declaration and declared unconditional surrender, which ended the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. After the war, the U.S. took advantage of its strong political and economic strength to occupy a dominant position in China’s foreign economic relations. At the same time, the outbreak of the Chinese Civil War between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Communist Party of China (CPC) made the already dilapidated social economy even worse: hyperinflation occurred, the financial order was chaotic, and China’s national economy completely collapsed. With the end of the KMT’s rule on the Chinese mainland, China’s semi-colonial foreign trade came to an end.
