UNDERLYING POLITICAL SECURITY
16. It is recognised that during personal contacts with persons
likely to visit or do business with Hong Kong there is certain to be some curiosity about Hong Kong's political situation. It is not intended that a description of security matters should be initiated by those helping to improve Hong Kong's image: if the inference from other information is enough so much the better.

in its wish to be able to progress under the existing administration.
(b) The efficient Police Force is even better
prepared to deal with any occurrence and maintain good law and order.
