M.’s ambassador to China, to simultaneously stop the poppy cultivation in India and China. Alcock was deeply impressed by the proposal and at a conference with the Indian Government in February 1870, advised the Indian Government to cooperate with the Chinese Government in exterminating poppy cultivation in both Countries.Why did Alcock propose to the Indian Government to abandon the opium trade? At that time opium trade had faced two aspects of its historical change. The first is the competition from Chinese opium. To drive out Indian opium by encouraging native product was the policy of Chinese Government. This policy had been already referred to in the famous Xu Nai-ze’s (許乃済) memorial in 1836, but then it had been condemned and rejected by the Emperor. After the Opium War, Li Hung-zhang (李鴻章) insisted on adopting the policy, and encouraged poppy cultivation in China.The other is the fact that opium trade was being an obstacle to the sale of British manufactured goods in Chinese market. Before 1850’s, British manufactured goods could not enter into the Chinese market. But, after 1860, with the monetary support of colonial banks, British cotton goods could effectively enter the market in China. Many manufacturers thought if opium trade had never existed, China would take more cotton goods. Alcock also recognized opium trade as being prejudicial to the general interest of commerce.In Britain after 1870, the anti-opium movement had become active. The leaders of the anti-opium activity were Quakers, and they were allied with the manufacturers of Manchester. Alcock was a diplomat who represented the interest of British manufacturers, and who realized the necessity of such a change in opium trade.}, pages = {121--152}, title = {清朝政府のアヘン輸入代替政策とアヘン貿易}, volume = {78}, year = {1996}, yomi = {ニイムラ, ヨウコ} }
