'People's Daily of 19 May reports the televised rally on 18 May, attended by 100,000 people, to "angrily censure Fascist atrocities of Hong Kong British authorities in their bloody suppression of Hong Kong compatriots".
Following is summary of Hsieh Fu-chih's speech.
2. From 6 May onwards Hong Kong British authorities have mobilised large numbers of army and police thugs who carried out armed suppression and persecution of Hong Kong Chinese workers, youths, students, journalists and residents. Up to morning of 14 May over 400 people had been arrested and over 100 had been sentenced to prison for no reason. Yesterday (17 May) Hong Kong authorities mobilised 6 companies of police to suppress several thousand Kowloon compatriots. These Fascist atrocities are a new blood debt to the Chinese people.
3. We firmly support the Foreign Ministry statement of 15 May and will carry on the struggle against British imperialist Fascist persecution to the end. Present activities are part of British imperialist collusion with United States imperialists and Chiang Kai-shek bandits. Hong Kong authorities used Chiang Kai-shek agents and black society elements to suppress our compatriots. Chiang newspapers boasted that Chiang agents were "assisting" the Hong Kong authorities in opposing the workers. Authorities have protected Chiang elements who have carried out propaganda attacks and slander against Socialist system. They have allowed Chiang agents to use Hong Kong to infiltrate the Chinese mainland for sabotage. Chiang elements have also carried out "two China" activities in Hong Kong. In addition the United States imperialists have been allowed to set up factories for war materials in their aggression against Viet Nam. The United States has been permitted to establish a huge Intelligence and Secret Service network in Hong Kong.
