burnt down.7
In a note (rejected by our Chargé) Ministry of Foreign
Affairs restated Chinese demands made since 15 May.
Our Chargé informed by M.F.A. that root cause of
abnormal state of fino-British relations was the suppressed
Chinese citizens in Hong Kong and that until this stopped and British Government accepted Chinese Government's demands
and released all prisoners, there could be no improvement
or normalisation of relations.
Our Chargé informed by M.F.A. that if we wished
relations to improve we must first stop suppression of
Chinese in Hong Kong.
