"Mr. LI (China) referred to document A/915/Add.1, explaining the reason for ceasing the transmission of information on the Panama Canal Zone, as well as to the statement of the delegation of Panama in the Fourth Committee on 14 November, 1946, to the effect that the Panama Canal Zone could not be considered a Non-Self-Governing Territory because the sovereignty of the Canal Zone rested in the Republic of Panama. He drew attention to page 358 in the Summaries and Analyses of information transmitted to the Secretary-General, and to page 24 of document A/908/Add.3 containing the statement that Hong Kong comprised the Kowloon Territory and the New Territories.

He recalled the fact that both Kowloon and the New Territories were leased territories, sovereignty over which still rested in the

Republic of China. If the fact that sovereignty over a territory rested with another state was considered a reason for ceasing to transmit information, then information should cease to be transmitted on Kowloon and the New Territories as sovereignty over those territories rested in the Republic of China.

As the case of Kowloon and the New Territories was similar to the case f the Panama Canal Zone under item 4(c), Mr. Li wished to state the positio

the Chinese delegation and to bring it to the attention of the ted Kingdom representative."
