Following for Hong Kong Chinese Liaison Office, repeated to Hong Kong London Office (please pass to both).
Information from local sources in touch with Chinese restaurants in U.K. suggests that restaurants are not being patronised because of public disapproval of Chinese Government's attitude over Hong Kong situation and ill-treatment of British diplomats. Grateful for your views on this immediate.

We are now urgently preparing poster for display in Chinese restaurants in U.K. to get across the idea that the restaurants are run by loyal Hong Kong Chinese. Please say whether you think this will help and how many copies you will need.
30 We might also be able to get BBC representatives here to get over to the British public the loyalty of Hong Kong people and in particular the importance to New Territories people of remittances flowing back from workers employed in Chinese restaurants.
4. Would also like your views on this proposal earliest.
