Abstract: Since modern times, the influence and shaping of the Western dominated international system on the Islamic world is very obvious, and the consequences are very serious. But up to now, scholars at home and abroad have limited discussion on this issue. The author tries to answer the above questions. According to author’s opinion, under the long-term influence of the western system, the Islamic world has passively carried out "system transformation". It including three major aspects: Firstly, the Western countries used the "one nation-one state view" to disintegrate the empire system of the multi-ethnic coexistence of the Islamic world; Secondly, the Western countries use the "sovereign state view" to dispel the "national state view" that the Middle East countries have just established; Finally, the Western countries have eroded the "sovereign supremacy" principle through various new interventionist theories. As a result, the Islamic world has gradually disintegrated the originally self-consistent Islamic system, thereby bringing irreparable and catastrophic consequences.

Abstract: Since the start of the 21st Century, trading relations among the East Asian countries have been and need to be strongly reinforced. By reviewing intra-Asian economic relations in the 1930s, we could see assets and load left by history to the present world. In the 1930s, Taiwan was ruled by Japan. By contrast with Hori Kazuo, a professor of Kyoto University to have touched upon the intra-Asian trade of this decade focusing upon Japan, this study depicts the intra-Asian trade and migration of this decade by focusing upon Taiwan. This paper obtains the following findings: 1. In the 1930s, Taiwan’s trade with the Northeast Asia had been vividly increased. The increase rate of trade between Taiwan and Manchukuo as well as Korea was greater than that between Taiwan and the Japan proper. Migration between Taiwan and all Asian areas in this period was in general increased, in which that to China increased most. All these increases had been made possible by the rise of Asia-Pacific navigation relative to the Asia-European navigation. 2. In this expansion of intra-Asian trade and migration, the national boundary with all these various areas for Taiwan was clearly observed rather than imagined. For example, following the treaty between Japan and Korea signed in 1910, the relation between Taiwan and Korea turned more and more from being international into being domestic. When Taiwanese products, deemed as Japanese products, were rejected in the Southeast Asia and welcome in Manchukuo and other newly Japanese conquered Chinese mainland, Taiwanese vested interest was more and more intertwined with the Japanese empire which climaxed its war victory in China by conquering Wuchang and Hankou in 1938. By contrast with the mostly labor population among immigrants from other Asian areas to Taiwan, many of the emigrants from Taiwan to these areas were rich merchants.
