The impact of these substances is undeniable, and the role they have played in Chinese social, cultural, and economic history is extremely complex.In Intoxicating Manchuria, Norman Smith reveals how warlord rule, Japanese occupation, and political conflict affected local intoxicant industries. These industries flourished throughout the early twentieth century, even as a vigorous anti-intoxicant movement raged.
