Distribution:-
We agree that courses outline in paragraph 4 of
your telegram under reference are not so severe as
deportation and are open to less criticism. But, on the
assessments of CPG involvement in Peking telegram No.626
to Foreign Office and your telegram No.776, we judgə it
would be wiser to avoid action against their "officials"
in the NCNA, Bank of China and China Resources
Company if at all possible, since this would make it the
more difficult for them to disengage from a policy of
all-out confrontation.
As for Hong
Kong telegram No.

:
On the other hand, we appreciate that officials
of the NCNA and Bank have been in the forefront of the
anti-Government propaganda campaign which must be
effectively countered if the confidence of the ordinary
people of Hong Kong is to be retained.
