Port strike - Port strike

Japanese: 省港ストライキ - しょうこうストライキ

An anti-imperialist strike that took place in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, and British Hong Kong from June 1925 to October of the following year. In protest of the May 30th incident in Shanghai, workers in Hong Kong and Guangzhou formed a strike committee (chaired by Su Chao-tseng) to fight. The Guangzhou Nationalist government supported the strike, including by imposing an economic blockade on Hong Kong, but the strike ended with the Northern Expedition. During this time, the growing power of the right wing of the Kuomintang, as shown by the Zhongshan Ship Incident, must be noted, but there is no doubt that this large-scale strike was an important prerequisite for the Northern Expedition.

1925年6月から翌年10月まで中国の広東省城(広州)と英領香港でおこった反帝ストライキ。上海での五･三〇事件に抗議して香港，広州の労働者は罷工委員会(蘇兆徴委員長)を結成して闘った。広州国民政府は香港を経済封鎖するなど，ストを支援したが，北伐とともにストは終息した。この間，中山艦事件に示される国民党右派の力量増大は注意されねばならないが，この大規模なストが北伐のための重要な前提となったことは疑いない。
