Action Taken
O E
Being a friend of the Hongkong people, I would like to ask your
Government whether it is possible to give Hongkong self-government status? I feel the Hongkongese (people of Hongkong) are capable to look after
themsleves with minimum British involvement. Over the years, the Hongkongese have represented Hongkong in many world meetings and sports.
Hongkong is a small country and does not pose a military threat
to China. This is common sense.
Under a self-government Hongkong, I wish to suggest certain action
which the British Government must take, such as:
1. To appoint a British as Governor-General;
2. To hold General-Election for all Political Parties;
3. To appoint a Hongkongese as Chief Minister;
4. Retaining the Foreing Affairs, Finance and Defence Ministries;
5. To sign a 99 years Defence Treaty with Hongkong Government;
6. To seek U.N. membership for Hongkong when it becomes independent
within five year or more.
I hereby enclosed my two letters dated 1st March, 1978 and 14th April, 1978 and also splus an article by Peter R. Kann for your government reference.
Thank you.
Your sincerely
m
Robin Donald
