Hong Kong itself should absorb the refugees
Although immensely crowded, and facing its own immigration
pressures from China, Hong Kong has already absorbed s ome
14,500 Indo-Chinese since 1975. Nevertheless, the Hong
Kong Government would be prepared to consider absorbing a
limited number of Vietnamese refugees from the camps there,
provided this formed part of a concerted international
effort to reduce drastically
the size of Hong Kong's
Vietnamese refugee problem.
