Washington telegram No. 442 Saving to Foreign Office
-2-
Further examples of the flagrant disregard of these standards have been the confinement of members of the staff of the United States Consulate General at Mukden to their compounds for almost a year, denial of facilities for the withdrawal of the personnel of the Consulate in contra- vention of assurances given as long ago as 21st June that they would be made available, and assent in, if not instigation by, Communist authorities at Shanghai of mob action against American business men in that city.
Far from constituting pressure toward recognition, such acts contravening recognised standards of conduct merely reflect discreditably upon the character of the Chinese Communist régime".
