General Thomes
Anti-China:
PROFAGANDA THEMES ON HONG KONG
a) Chaos and violence inside China with the emphasis on developments affecting Hong Kong, e.g..
(i) Extremist influences in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and differences of opinion between the leadership on Foreign policy matters.
(ii) Impact of the cultural revolution in
Kwangtung Province as it affects provincial control of extremists and the provincial authorities links with Hong Kong.
(iii) Damaging effect of the cultural revolution
on the Chinese economy, particularly exports thus increasing China's dependance on Hong Kong market for foreign exchange.
b) China's chauvinistic policy towards its
neighbours in South East Asia and elsewhere in the world. Emphasis should be placed on the fact that it is not an "anti-colonial" struggle but one of a series of foreign diversions organised for internal reasons. Attention
should be drawn to the provocative activities of Chinese missions abroad in promoting a cult of Mao Tse-tung and the cultural revolution which has led to numerous incidents and in some cases a deterioration of relations with certain countries e.g. Nepal, Burma, Cambodia, Singapore, Mongolia, North Korea and North Viet-Nem.
Pro-Hong Kong
a)
Factual information on the Hong Kong Governments firm handling of the situation.
b) The stability of the Hong Kong economy as reflected in exports, the movement of capital, prospects for the development of trade and expressions of confidence by the Hong Kong business community, (particularly the Chinese community).
c) Information on the Hong Kong government's social and economic policies e.g. schools, resettlement, housing, labour legislation.
Overseas Chinese Themes
a) Manipulation of overseas Chinese communities abroad by Chinese diplomats and other agencies on behalf of Maoist policies which has antagonised the indigenous population, eft the overseas Chinese to face the music and with the Feking government in no position and unwilling to protect them e.g. Indonesia, Burma and Hong Kong.
