Japanese opium policy in Taiwan (1895-1945)
Before Japan annexed Taiwan from China in 1895, Japan lacked an effective government capable of banning or regulating the consumption of opium. According to Japanese statistics, in 1900, there were 169,000 opium smokers in Taiwan, equivalent to 6% of the Taiwanese population.
