在旧中国,存在着帝国主义在华烟草公司与华商烟草公司的不公平竞争,英美烟草公司与南洋兄弟烟草公司的竞争是典型个案。“英美烟”恃美英在华的政治、经济特权,垄断了中国的烟叶原料和销售市场,并使用诬蔑、破坏等手段排挤、压制甚至企图吞并“南洋”,“南洋”在回击和自我调整中曲折发展。 In old China, there was unfair competition between the imperialist tobacco companies in China and the Chinese tobacco companies. The competition between British American Tobacco and Nanyang Tobacco Company was a typical case. The “British American Tobacco” relies on the political and economic privileges of the United States and Britain in China to monopolize the tobacco raw materials and sales markets in China. It also uses vilification, vandalism and other means to crowd out, suppress and even attempt to annex the “Nanyang,” and “Southeast Asia” in response and self- Zigzag development.
