CONFIDENTIAL

nothing like 3 million yuan will be needed

by "the compatriots afflicted by the typhoon".

It seems to us that the CPG may have taken

this opportunity not only to attempt to win

favour among the/people of Hong Kong generally,

but also to top/ up the funds of the Hong

Kong and Kowloon Federation of Trade Unions

and the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce.

We will be most interested in any assessment

of the situation you are able to let us have.
