YOUR TELNO 494: CHINESE STATEMENT
COMMENT
3. I THINK IT IS CLEAR
CTIONALITY PACKAGE
THAT THE CHINESE
STATEMENT IS NOT A HELPFUL ATTEMPT TO RECONCILE OUR NATIONALITY PACKAGE WITH THE CHINESE NATIONALITY LAW. IT HAS INCIDENTALLY BEEN RECEIVED BADLY BY THE AMERICANS HERE, BOTH BUSINESSMEN AND CONSULATE-GENERAL. I REMAIN OF THE VIEW THAT ALTHOUGH WE WOULD NOT WISH UNNECESSARILY TO RAISE THE TEMPERATURE A STATEMENT ON THE LINES SUGGESTED IN OUR TELNO 798 IS NECESSARY. I THINK THIS REPETITION OF A FORMAL CHINESE|ATTACK CANNOT 60 UNANSWERED.
