Addressed to Foreign Office telegram No. 267 of 18 May Repeated for information to POLAD Singapore and Hong Kong.
There is of course great local interest in developments in Hong Kong and early guidance would be appreciated. Among the questions that Thais are asking are:
(a) what answers we shall return to the Chinese demands;
(b)
what consequences do we anticipate if these are refused (as they expect them to be);
(c)
(a)
whether the riots were supported from Peking from the outset;
in general what do we think are Chinese motives and aims.
F.0. pass Hong Hong 47.
