| After the Washington meeting in 1922, a series of treaties were singed by China and Japan around Shandong problem. According to these treaties, Japanese troops withdraw from Shandong. The sovereignty of Shandong was given back to China in name, but Japan has still kept down vast privileges as exchange. These privileges established foundation for Japan to continue his economic expandation in Shandong. Since then, the Japanese invade fashion was also changed, the directly military invade was taken place by the concealment economic invade until Japan launched the completely China-Japan war in 1937. This paper investigated Japanese economic aggression in 1923-1937, uncovered the historical facts that Japan plundered resources and destroyed economy in Shandong .The paper has three parts: the change of Japanese invade fashion in Shandong, the survey of Japanese economic invade and the aftereffect of Japan's economic aggression.The first part mainly discuss the change of the Japan's invade fashion. Japan had to return Shandong to China after 1922.But Japan didn't reconciled to lose his invade rights and interests in Shandong and Japan still reserved many privileges according to the treaties, especially the economic privileges, In this way, Japan changed his invade fashion which mainly on economy and military affairs was assist. In this period, Japan's economic aggression in Shandong had two approaches: one is takenfull advantage of privileges in the treaties and tied to expand; the other was maintenance the Japanese businessman's interests in Shandong by implanted the comprador forces and colluding warlord of Shandong.A general presentation on Japanese economic aggression in Shandong was given in the second part.
