It might be helpful in securing Grey's release if
it were found possible to deport Hsieh, We are not sure if there would
be any legal difficulties about this or whether you would see any
political objections to the idea. It appears from your telegram No. 1040
that he is not a British subject.

You no doubt realise that deportation of Hsieh would not by itself
necessarily effect Grey's release. There are still two other N.C.N.A.
reporters under arrest who have not yet been sentenced and there may be
more later.

It would be legally possible to remit sentence and to deport and we gave
consideration to this before trial. Despite his pro-Communist attitude
and NCNA employment it is, however, possible that he would refuse to go
to China if the Chinese Government are willing to accept him. Having
once released him we should be obliged, I think, to detain him pending
deportation. If this happened Chinese would certainly accuse us having
engineered his refusal.
2.
Police inform us that, though he claims to be single, there is a woman
who says she is his wife and that they have children. This may
complicate issue.
3. If other NCNA reporters are also convicted (my telegram No. 1089)
there might be some advantage in trying to get rid of the lot at the
same time, but this would mean dealy till early August.
