The outbreak of civil war between the Chihli and Fengtien factions in the latter spart of 1924 and the subsequent dislocation of railway traffic which continued long after the cessation of hostilities, was a severe handicap to the trade of the port. Gradually, as the victorious Fengtien troops gained control of the railways emanating from Tientsin trade conditions improved only to experience a set-back in the summer lof 1925 due to the disturbed conditions and boycott of British and Japanese goods instigated by students and strikers throughout China. Tientsin, however, has suffered less than other parts of the country from the general disorders and the fighting between North and South which still continues.
