大连港是东北最大的出海口,港口条件优越,又有东北地区作为其经济腹地,是东北和京津地区的双重门户。正因为大连港拥有如此重要的战略地位,遂使它成为近代帝国主义列强尤其是近邻日俄两国觊觎争夺的目标。 Dalian Port is the largest port in northeast China. Its ports have superior conditions. In addition, the northeast region serves as its economic hinterland and is a dual gateway to the northeast and Beijing-Tianjin regions. It is precisely because Dalian Port possesses such an important strategic position that it has become the goal of the vanguard struggle between modern imperialist powers, especially its immediate neighbors, Japan and Russia.
