My immediately preceding telegram (Extraterritor
iality negotiations).
Article based on the Czechoslovak precedent
should read as follows.
"British subjects shall enjoy in China the right,
subject to the Chinese laws and regulations, to travel,
reside, establish firms, open branches, acquire or
lease property, work and engage in industry or commerce
in all the localities where the nationals of any other
country shall be permitted to do so and in the same
manner and under the same conditions as the nationals of
any other country. Reciprocally, Chinese citizens shall
enjoy in the United Kingdom in respect of the above
matters treatment not less favourable than that enjoyed
by subjects or citizens of the most-favoured country".
