China overprint Taisho Strained fiber paper 2 Issued on 1914-1919 (Taisho3-8) In 1895 (Meiji 28), Japan won the Sino-Japanese War. Japan continued to station troops in mainland China to promote civilian local economic activity. In November 1899 (Meiji 32), by the Ordinance of the Ministry of Communications, stamps sold in Korea and China (China) from January 1900 will be overprinted with "Korea" or "China". Korean overprint stamps were abolished in 1901, but Chinese overprint stamps have been able to achieve the Japanese currency distribution network in China for a considerable period of time even after the real control of southern Manchuria was achieved by the victory of the Russo-Japanese War. It was used until 1922 (Taisho 11) because it was difficult to cross.
In 1914 (Taisho 3), domestic stamps changed from Taisho white paper stamps to strained fiber paper stamps, so Chinese overprint stamps were also changed to Taisho strained fiber paperstamps and were issued until 1919.
