Dr. Chen, Chinese Chargé d'Affaires, referred to-day
to the new immigration regulations at Hong Kong.
He said that the Chinese Government were grateful
that our authorities had waived the necessity for a visa
on Chinese passports. Chinese residents in Hong Kong
had, however, strongly represented to the Chinese
Government that it would be desirable that reference
in the regulations to the necessity for such a visa,
in so far as Chinese nationals were concerned, should be
deleted. The Chinese Government concurred in this
view and enquired whether we should be prepared to do this.
