MANCHURIAN TRADE CENTRES

In addition to Mukden, the Treaties made with China in 1903 by the United States and Japan secured the opening of Antung and Tatungkow in Manchuria. By an additional agreement made between China and Japan in December, 1905, the following inland places in Manchuria were opened to trade on the dates specified :-September 10th, 1906, Tieh-ling, Tung-chiang-tzu and Fakumen; on October 8th, Hsin-min Fu; on December 17th, Manchuli, Harbin, Ch'ang-ch'un (K'uan-ch'êng-tzu) and Kirin; on December 19th, Tsitsihar (Pu-k'uei), the capital of the northern province of Hei-lung- chiang; and on June 18th, 1907, the remaining seven places-- Fêng-huang-ch'êng (Ting) Liao-yang, Ninguta, Hun-ch'un, Sansing, Hailar and Aigun-were declared open as a preliminary step prior to the adoption of special settlement regulations. Only at Mukden and Harbin are Foreign Consulates, other than Japanese, established.

On March 9, 1932, a new "State of Manchukuo" was established at Hsinking (formerly Changchun), the new Capital, as an independent Republic, under the rulership of P'u I, the ex-Emperor of China, dethroned by the Chinese Revolution of 1911, and the latter was enthroned as the Emperor Kang-tê on March 1, 1934.

Japan, San Salvador, Italy, Germany, Hungary and Nationalist Spain have accorded recognition to the new State.
