According to the advertisement of Korea, During World War II Japan had established some opium fields in northern Korea for Japan's opium operations in China. Allegedly, this was conducted with full approval from Tokyo under directives of a Japanese umbrella organization, The China Affairs Board. The Board was responsible for the affairs of occupied China. The organization was believed to be run by Fumimaro Konoe and the ministers of war, finance, navy and foreign affairs. Japan's opium trade was believed to be for the purpose of weakening the Chinese and for much needed revenues to help with Japan's military aggressions.
