吴淞口是万里长江的出海口。1950年1月24日,华东军政委员会马寅初副主席在上海发表广播讲话,描述上海经济的滑坡状况。其中提到:百货业多缺乏商品,有的筹集到了商品,也卖不出去,机械业濒临崩溃,纺织业凋敝,粮价上涨,其余物价也跟着上涨。长江口岸由于种种原因被封锁,不仅加剧了上海经济的滑坡,而且制约我国整个国民经济的恢复。 Wusongkou is the mouth of the Yangtze River. On January 24, 1950, Vice Chairman Ma Yinchu of East China Military and Political Commission made a radio speech in Shanghai describing the economic decline of Shanghai. It mentions that there is a lack of goods in the department stores, some goods are raised and sold out, the machinery industry is on the brink of collapse, the textile industry is sluggish, the prices of food are rising, and the prices of the rest are also rising. The blockade of the Yangtze River port for various reasons not only exacerbated the economic downturn in Shanghai but also hindered the recovery of China’s entire national economy.
