PEKING TELNO 1064:
To
CONFERENCE OF CHINESE STUDENT FEDERATIONS:
CHINESE DEMARCHE OF 3 JULY.
1. WE NEVER TELL NCNA SPECIFICALLY WHOM WE ARE GOING TO STOP ENTERING HONG KONG. FIRST, IT MUST BE FOR US TO TAKE THESE DECISIONS: WE DO NOT DISCUSS THESE WITH OTHER GOVERNMENTS OR PUBLICLY. SECONDLY, WE MIGHT NOT ALWAYS CATCH THOSE WHOM WE WISH TO PREVENT ENTERING HONG KONG, AND WE DO NOT WISH TO GIVE HOSTAGES TO FORTUNE.
2. WE HAVE TOLD NCNA THAT WHILE HONG KONG RESIDENTS ARE FREE TO EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS WITHIN THE LAW, IT IS OUR POLICY TO PREVENT OUTSIDERS USING HONG KONG FOR THEIR POLITICAL PURPOSES. WE BELIEVE THAT NCNA ARE QUITE CLEAR FROM THIS THAT WE WILL NOT/NOT PREVENT THE CONFERENCE FROM TAKING PLACE, BUT THAT WE WILL TRY TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE HONG KONG FROM ATTENDING.
