香港是一個自由港，憑藉優越的地理位置，一直是中國與外國接觸的重要門戶。抗戰期間，香港是國民政府軍火進口和戰略物資出口的轉口港；收集情報和中日秘密外交接觸的“隱閉戰場”；商貿、金融和航空交通的重要據點；不同政見的黨政人員及其家屬的“避居地”，對國民政府的抗日貢獻了無法估量的價值。本文就國民政府與香港抗戰作一次嘗試性的研究，內容只環繞與國民政府有關的部分議題。

Abstract： Hong Kong, being a free port with advantageous geographical position, has all along been a vital doorway that connects China to the outside world. To the Nationalist Government. Hong Kong during the War of Resistance was an entrepot for importing firearms and exporting strategic commodities, a "hidden war field" of intelligence gathering and secretive Sino-Japanese diplomatic manoeuvres, an important stronghold for trade, finance and air traffic, as well as “refuge”for party and political figures of different political views and their families. Hong Kong contributed tremendously to the Nationalist Government's resistance efforts. This article attempts to study the Nationalist Government and Hong Kong in the War of Resistance against Japan and touches only on some topics that surround the Nationalist Government.
