Optimistic
Hongkong's reaction to Britain's decision to relax controls on trade with Communist China was one of optimism. Trading firms contacted by the China Mail this morning said that trade with China would increase.
Mr E. J. M. Churn, Managing Director of the Union Trading Co., Ltd., said the overall effect should be bene- ficial to Hongkong's business firms, provided the Com. munists would buy from Hongkong houses instead of buying direct from Britain.
"Naturally, we are pleased that Hongkong now has an opportunity to trade," said Mr J. B. Kite, Secretary of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, when asked
what his reaction was,
A VERY WISE STEP
Mr Kite added that the decision should have been taken "long ago." He said that the Chamber's Chairman in his annual speeches for the last three or four years had urged that the embargo list be brought into line with the Soviet list.
Mr Ko Cheuk-hung, Chairman of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, said the step taken by Britain "was a very wise one." He added that the embargo had caused greater loss and damage to Western countries than
to China.
Mr Ko said that the relaxation of the embargo would increase Hongkong's trade which would be beneficial to Hongkong on the whole. "Hongkong has been suffering greatly since the embargo," said Mr Ko.
WE
MUST WAIT AND SEE
"This is the beginning of the second five-year plan of the Chinese People's Government and many supplies and raw materials will be required by China. I hope the British Government will send more delegates to China for trade negotiations. The step taken by Britain is just in time," said Mr Kò.
Mr W. C. Gomersall, Chairman of China Engineers, Ltd, said he had no particular comment to make on the decision of the British Government. "We have to wait and see," Mr Gomersall said.
